Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands West Employment Tribunals on 28 December 2023. The respondent, Darren Willis, failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Smart determined the claim could properly be decided under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. The judgment ordered the respondent to pay Mrs L Bentley £1,046.40 gross.

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.
