Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant was employed by T33 Holdings Ltd from 1 October 2021 until 24 March 2023. It held that the unauthorised deductions from wages complaint was well-founded for the period 1 April 2022 to 23 March 2023, and ordered T33 Holdings Ltd to pay the gross sum deducted plus compensation for financial loss attributable to the deduction.
The tribunal also found that the holiday pay complaint was well-founded because T33 Holdings Ltd failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when his employment ended. It ordered payment for that holiday pay.
The tribunal found that T33 Holdings Ltd unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures 2015 and increased the compensatory award by 25%. It also awarded the claimant costs because of the way the first respondent conducted the proceedings, ordered a penalty payable to the Secretary of State, and dismissed the claims against the second to fifth respondents.

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.
