Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Maxwell, sitting alone at Birmingham (by CVP) on 26 April 2024, heard the claim with the Claimant in person and no attendance for the Respondent (Mr Reynolds having said he lacked standing). The Tribunal found the Claimant's unlawful deductions claim well-founded, comprising arrears of pay (£265.86 plus a van issue of £117.44, totalling £383.30), two weeks' notice pay (£704.64), holiday pay (£844.48 plus £117.44, totalling £961.92), and pension (£1,728.37), giving a subtotal of £3,778.23.
From this subtotal the Tribunal deducted £397 already paid by the Respondent, leaving a balance owing of £3,381.23. The Tribunal recorded that the claims for annual leave and breach of contract were also well-founded but that no separate award was made in respect of them. The claim for expenses was found not well-founded and was 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.
