Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge J Bann determined the claim under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024 after the Respondent failed to enter a response within the 28-day deadline and did not contact the Tribunal by the 17 April 2025 unless order. The hearing on 28 April 2025 at East London Hearing Centre (by CVP) proceeded with the Claimant in person and no attendance by the Respondent.
The Tribunal accepted the Claimant's oral evidence that he had been employed as a senior Trader from 10 May 2023 until his resignation with immediate effect on 3 December 2024, and that the Respondent failed to pay his monthly net salary in September, October and November 2024. The Respondent's acknowledgement of the resignation stating that monies owing and unused leave would be paid was treated as tacit acceptance that sums were owed on termination.
Applying section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Tribunal found the unauthorised deduction from wages well-founded and ordered the Respondent to pay £7,950 net, being the value of three months' unpaid wages. The Claimant did not pursue the annual leave element of his claim form due to lack of supporting calculation.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
