MISS DARA PRICE
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Birmingham CVP hearing on 25 January 2024, Employment Judge N. Clarke found the claimant's complaints for holiday pay and notice pay well-founded. For holiday pay, the tribunal held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay accrued but untaken holiday when the claimant's employment ended, and it ordered payment of £854.92 net. For notice pay, the tribunal held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay notice pay, and it ordered £285.50 net.
The tribunal also found that when the proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. It found no exceptional circumstances making an award of an amount equal to two weeks' pay unjust or inequitable, concluded that four weeks' pay was just and equitable, and stated that the respondent should therefore pay £2,282.42 under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002. The judgment then records that the total owing is £2,282.42, which does not reconcile arithmetically with the earlier holiday pay and notice pay awards.

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.
