Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found the claimant’s holiday pay claim well-founded. It held that the respondent failed to pay the full sum in lieu of untaken holiday due on termination of employment. The Appendix calculated holiday entitlement on termination under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, identified a payment in lieu due of £94.83, and after deducting £47.02 already paid, fixed the balance due at £47.81.
The tribunal also found the wrongful dismissal claim well-founded. It held that the claimant was dismissed without notice in circumstances where the respondent was not entitled to do so, and awarded one week’s notice pay of £147.25. The Appendix calculated a week’s pay by reference to the claimant’s irregular-hours earnings under the Employment Rights Act 1996, Chapter II. The judgment ordered the respondent to pay £47.81 for holiday pay and £147.25 for notice pay, less any applicable statutory deductions.

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.
