Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Gidney, sitting alone at Midlands West Employment Tribunal by Cloud Video Platform on 16 August 2024, heard claims brought by Mrs Seonag Birch against Holly Johnson (1st Respondent) and Ian Johnson (2nd Respondent). Both parties appeared in person. The judgment is a short oral-reasons judgment; written reasons were not provided unless requested within 14 days.
Against the 1st Respondent the Tribunal upheld four claims: unlawful deduction from wages (£52.36), wrongful dismissal in respect of notice pay (£270.05), holiday pay (£208.32), and a failure to provide terms and conditions of employment (£540.10). The total sum awarded against the 1st Respondent is £1,070.83.
All claims against the 2nd Respondent were dismissed. The judgment does not set out the factual or legal reasoning underlying these conclusions, as reasons were given orally at the hearing.
Claims and outcomes
5 findings recordedThis case has mixed outcomes under at least one legal claim type. A tribunal can uphold some allegations and dismiss others under the same legal head, so rows below may represent separate issues or allegation groups from the judgment.
| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlawful deduction from wages | Claim against 1st Respondent (Holly Johnson). | Upheld | — | £52 |
| Wrongful dismissal | Notice pay; claim against 1st Respondent. | Upheld | — | £270 |
| Holiday pay | Claim against 1st Respondent. | Upheld | — | £208 |
| Other | Failure to provide written terms and conditions of employment (s.1 ERA 1996 / s.38 Employment Act 2002 territory); does not map cleanly onto the locked §4.4 enum, so classified as 'other'. | Upheld | — | £540 |
| Unlawful deduction from wages | All claims against 2nd Respondent (Ian Johnson) dismissed; the judgment does not itemise which claim types were brought against him, so this entry represents the dismissal globally. | Dismissed | — | — |

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.
