Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningPerrin & Son Construction Limited was substituted for Christopher Perrin as respondent. Sitting alone at Exeter on 9 and 10 January 2023, Employment Judge Oldroyd found that Harry Callan had been unfairly dismissed. The tribunal awarded £336.50 for that claim, made up of a £100 basic award and a £236.50 compensatory award.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's breach of contract claim. It upheld two separate unlawful deduction from wages claims: £181.63 for unpaid wages due for 2020 and 2021, and £400 for failure to pay in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday.
The tribunal also recorded that the respondent did not deny the claimant's entitlement to annual leave, so the claimant was not entitled to compensation under regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. The bottom-line monetary total recorded by the judgment is £918.13.

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.
