Claimant

Mr D Ward

Respondent

Blueprint Life Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a Rule 21 judgment. The respondent did not submit an ET3 response form, and the Employment Judge said there was sufficient material before the tribunal to make a proper determination. On that basis, Mr D Ward’s claims for holiday pay and arrears of pay against Blueprint Life Limited were upheld.

The decision was expressly limited to liability. No remedy figures were assessed in this judgment, and the matter was listed to proceed to a separate remedy hearing before an Employment Judge sitting alone, with a time estimate of one hour.

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.
