Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim, and Employment Judge A Kemp issued judgment under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the available material. The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully withheld wages and ordered ARRIA Data2 Text Limited to pay the claimant the gross sum of £165,000.00, calculated on the basis of the annual salary provided in the contract of employment and as sought by the claimant.
The judgment also provided that the respondent could deduct any Income Tax and Employee National Insurance Contributions it was required by law to deduct from a payment of earnings of that amount, provided those sums were remitted to HMRC and the claimant was given written evidence of the deductions and remittance. Payment of the balance after those deductions would satisfy the judgment.

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.
