Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn the absence of an ET3 response form from the respondent, and having sufficient material before it to enable a proper determination, Employment Judge Harfield exercised Rule 21 and upheld Mr David Cobern's claims for arrears of pay and holiday pay. The judgment records gross awards of £9,583.33 for arrears of pay and £3,538.48 for holiday pay, making a total award of £13,121.81.
The tribunal recorded that Mr Cobern is responsible for payment of any tax and employee national insurance due. It made no award for accountants fees, stating that it did not consider it had jurisdiction to make such an award in an arrears of pay claim.

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.
