Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr T Richardson’s claims were heard at Birmingham on 4 to 7 September 2023 before Employment Judge Kenward, sitting with Mr P Simpson and Mrs B Hicks. The written judgment records that the tribunal dismissed the ordinary unfair dismissal complaint under sections 94 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and also dismissed the complaint of unfair dismissal under sections 94 and 103A, together with the complaint of victimisation on the ground of having made a protected disclosure under section 47B.
The only complaint upheld was the claim that Bell Decorating Group Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £494.13 gross in respect of outstanding holiday pay. The record states that reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were provided in the decision notice.

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.
