Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Philip Smith, brought claims against Drink Me Dry Limited that resulted in findings that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and that holiday entitlement remained unpaid at termination. The respondent did not attend the hearing on 11 November 2020, and Employment Judge Maidment heard the matter in Leeds.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £59,590.25 gross in respect of unpaid wages. It also ordered payment of £6,289.83 gross in respect of accrued but untaken holiday entitlement as at the termination of employment. No other liability findings or remedy components are recorded in the judgment extract.

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.
