Ms L Tucker and others (see Appendix 1) v Silurian Hotel Management Ltd — 2024

At Newport on 23 January 2024, Employment Judge C Sharp sat alone. The respondent did not attend and was debarred. Ms Nawaz (1600904/23) and Mr Arthur (1601150/23) failed to attend or provide a schedule of loss as ordered, and their claims were dismissed under Rule 47. Ms Jones (1601295/23) also did not attend, but her claim was not dismissed under Rule 47 because she had provided a schedule of loss and colleagues gave the further evidence required.

The tribunal held that Ms Tucker, Mr Dsouza, Ms Sylvester, Ms Jones, Mr Galimitakis and Mr Clifford succeeded on breach of contract/wrongful dismissal and unauthorised deduction from wages claims, with redundancy pay also awarded to Ms Tucker and Ms Sylvester. The judgment set out claimant-specific sums: Ms Tucker (£585; £1,646.06 gross for unpaid wages and holiday pay; £877.50 redundancy pay), Mr Dsouza (£420; £2,688 gross), Ms Sylvester (£1,076; £4,624.73 gross; £1,076 redundancy pay), Ms Jones (£389.60; £1,996.70 gross), Mr Galimitakis (£440; £979 gross), and Mr Clifford (£499.80; £1,049.58 gross).

Ms Enos, Ms Moores, Ms Crawford, Ms Michalkiewicz, Ms Cromwell, Mr Kelley and Ms Short also succeeded on the sums recorded in the judgment: Ms Enos (£840; £1,459.50 gross; £1,260 redundancy pay), Ms Moores (£1,191.43 gross), Ms Crawford (£260.50; £672.09 gross), Ms Michalkiewicz (£505.97 gross), Ms Cromwell (£225.63; £846.45 gross), Mr Kelley (£2,548 gross), and Ms Short (£260.50; £376.55 gross). The order stated that the claimants are responsible for any tax or national insurance due, and adding the sums listed gives a total of £28,794.59.
