EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 8000776/2024 P Dimitrov
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued on the available material because no response had been presented by the respondent, Viva Italia Limited. The Employment Judge, P O'Donnell, determined the claim without a response hearing and cancelled the hearing listed for 26 August 2024.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £1,349.49 gross. It also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. The judgment records that the claimant had been employed for 5 years and was therefore entitled to 5 weeks' notice under s.86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, with damages awarded at £1,980 gross.
The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,584 gross. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £463.10 gross. The total monetary award recorded by the judgment is £5,376.59 gross.

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.
