Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims for breach of contract and unauthorised deduction from wages concerning an alleged shortfall in March 2025 wages and alleged non-payment of garden leave in April 2025. The respondent was recorded as being in voluntary liquidation and had not entered a response.
Neither party attended the CVP hearing. The tribunal noted that the claimant had not responded to an earlier request for further information about the amounts sought.
The Employment Judge adjourned the hearing because, under rule 95 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the claim should have been served on the Secretary of State for Business and Trade where the sums claimed may involve payment from the National Insurance Fund as guaranteed debts.

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.
