Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal amended the claim forms, so far as necessary, to name The Cool Food Group Limited as the sole respondent and to remove Mr Richard Waterman as a named respondent. The respondent did not appear or have representation at the hearing.
The Tribunal found the unlawful deduction from wages claims well founded for each of the nine claimants and ordered the respondent to pay the individual wage sums set out in the judgment. The total of those wage awards is £21,924.79.
For Sam Bridge, Adeola Daniel-Taiwo, Dianne Hall, Jaspal Sohal, Claire Tym and Anil Varma, the Tribunal also found the claims of automatic unfair dismissal by reason of asserting a statutory right well founded and made compensatory awards. The judgment records that recoupment provisions applied for those claimants who had received Jobseeker's Allowance or Universal Credit during specified periods.

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.
