Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Miss Aslam Tussadiq brought a claim against Optimus Law Limited including a claim for repayment of a loan in the sum of £358 and a separate claim for arrears of pay and other payments. Employment Judge Choudry heard the case at Birmingham on 24 February 2023.

The loan repayment claim was dismissed on withdrawal. The judgment does not record any substantive finding on that claim beyond the withdrawal.

The claim for arrears of pay and other payments succeeded in part. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £3,501.80, made up of £417 in outstanding wages, £84.80 in unpaid pension contributions, and £3,000 in respect of 50 overtime telephone shifts.

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.
