Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Bristol by video on 13 May 2024, Employment Judge C H O’Rourke heard the claims brought by Mr Steven Charley, Mr Trevor Williams and Mr John Derry against Guardian Industrial (UK) Limited. The written judgment recorded that the First Claimant succeeded on the unpaid wages, holiday pay, pay in lieu of notice and statutory redundancy pay matters, and that the parties had a mutually agreed outstanding sum of £7,000 for those heads of claim.
The Tribunal held that the Second and Third Claimants' claims of unlawful deduction from wages, arrears of holiday pay and pay in lieu of notice were presented out of time. It therefore found that it had no jurisdiction to hear those claims and dismissed them.
The Second Claimant did succeed on statutory redundancy pay. The Tribunal found that he had not been paid his full entitlement and ordered the Respondent to pay £3,538.83, taking into account £750 already paid to him. The Third Claimant's statutory redundancy pay claim was dismissed because the judgment recorded that the sum due to him, £3,858, had already been paid. The total monetary sum ordered by the judgment was £10,538.83.

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.
