Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent (Silverline Care) failed to enter a response within 28 days of the claim form being sent on 7 February 2025, contrary to rule 17 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. Employment Judge F Eccles, sitting in Scotland, determined under Rule 22 that liability could properly be determined on the available material without a hearing.
The Tribunal upheld the unfair dismissal complaint and awarded a basic award of £3,480 (6 weeks at £580 per week) and a compensatory award of £4,686.80, comprising past loss of wages of £3,282 (1 week at £474 plus 52 weeks at £54), pension loss of £904.80 (52 weeks at £17.40) and loss of statutory rights of £500.
The Tribunal also upheld the complaint of an unauthorised deduction of wages, ordering the respondent to pay £555.68 deducted from the claimant's final wage. Total payable: £8,722.48.

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.
