Tribunal's reasoningJudge Sanger heard the case in absence of all parties under Rule 47, having satisfied himself that the parties had been notified of the hearing. The claim for unpaid wages was dismissed because the claimant had conceded at a previous hearing on 25 July 2025 that there was no such claim.
On the contested issue of the identity of the employer, the Tribunal found, on the basis of payslips paid by Transpora (a previous trading name of Altonian Coaches Limited), WhatsApp evidence from a former director, and an email from Mr Hand, that the claimant's employer was the First Respondent (Altonian Coaches Limited) rather than the Second Respondent (WC1LDN Limited). The claim against the Second Respondent was therefore dismissed.
The holiday pay claim against the First Respondent was upheld at £1,204.40. The Tribunal calculated holiday accrued under the pre-April 2024 regime (£8.56) and post-April 2024 under regulation 15F of the Working Time Regulations 1998 (£1,195.48 at 12.07% of pay between 6 April and 19 July 2024) for the claimant as an irregular hours worker.

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.
