Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response was presented to the claim. The Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.
The tribunal upheld Ms T Grant's claims that Neil Topping Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and had failed to pay contractual sums due on dismissal. It ordered the respondent to pay £1,666.67 gross for the wage deduction claim, £1,666.67 gross for dismissal in breach of contract without payment of notice, £1,307.69 for 17 days' holiday entitlement at a gross daily rate of £76.92, and £28.55 for laptop expenses in breach of contract.
The tribunal refused the ET1 claims described as 'late payment distress' and 'HMRC fraud + P45 delay' because they were outwith its statutory powers. The bottom-line monetary total from the judgment is £4,669.58 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.
