Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Helen Pugh, brought a pay and/or unpaid wages complaint against Mr Gurjeevan Singh Shergill, who was described as a director of her employer, Sequoia CH Group Limited. The claimant had a conciliation certificate against Mr Shergill, but had not entered the ACAS conciliation process with Sequoia CH Group Limited. She did not attend the hearing, and the tribunal proceeded in her absence under Rule 47 after attempting to contact her by mobile telephone.
Claims and outcomes

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unlawful deduction from wages | The tribunal struck out the pay and/or unpaid wages claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success. The judgment also states in the reasons that the claim was dismissed because an unpaid wages claim should be brought against the employer, not the individual director, and the claimant had not conciliated with Sequoia CH Group Limited. | Struck out | — | — |

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.
