Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records four complaints brought by Lewis Walsh against Devon Contract Waste Limited: unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction from wages, underpayment of statutory redundancy pay, and non-payment of holiday pay. The hearing took place remotely at Bristol on 7 and 8 December 2022 before Employment Judge Barton. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were provided.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal complaint. It also found the unlawful deduction from wages complaint was not well founded and dismissed it, and dismissed the complaint of underpayment of statutory redundancy pay on the same basis. The written record does not set out the tribunal's factual reasoning for those outcomes.
The holiday pay complaint was dismissed upon withdrawal. The written record uses the phrase 'holiday play', which appears to be a typographical error for holiday pay. No monetary award is recorded in the written judgment.

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.
