Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr R Lawal brought a second claim for unpaid wages said to arise in March and April 2023, totalling £684 gross. The tribunal noted that an earlier claim, case 1803153/2023, had already been determined against the correct employing company, The Junk Yard Café Bar Ltd.
The tribunal observed that the company had entered insolvency proceedings and recommended that the claimant apply to the Redundancy Payments Service to seek reimbursement of the unpaid wages. It also noted that information was available from Citizens Advice on how to do this.
Because the present claim was a duplicate claim identifying the company's trading style or premises rather than a new respondent, the tribunal dismissed it. The judgment states that the claim was dismissed as a duplicate of 1803153/2023, applying res judicata.

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.
