Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by video at Bristol on 29 April 2022 before Employment Judge Le Grys. The Tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim against the Second Respondent because the early conciliation requirements had not been complied with, and that claim was dismissed.
The First Respondent's applications to reject the claim for non-compliance with early conciliation, to strike it out on the basis that the wrong respondent had been named, and to strike out the holiday pay claim for 2020 as out of time were all dismissed. The Tribunal amended the First Respondent's name to Lorraine Pegler t/a Bar 21.
On the substantive claims, the Claimant's claim for breach of contract in respect of notice pay was found not well founded and dismissed. The claim for holiday pay relating to accrued but untaken leave in the 2020 leave year was also found not well founded and dismissed.
The Claimant succeeded only on the holiday pay claim for accrued but untaken leave in the 2021 leave year. The Tribunal ordered the First Respondent to pay the agreed sum of £1,100 gross. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were provided.

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.
