Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Leeds by CVP on 23 March 2023, the tribunal recorded a consent order requiring Stephensons Butchers Limited to pay Mrs A Hunt £197.07 gross for seven days of untaken annual holiday pro-rata as at the termination date of 11 June 2022. The figure was calculated using a 6-day weekly rate of £168.92.
The tribunal also made an uplift of £337.84, equal to two weeks' pay, under section 38 of the Employment Act 2000 because the respondent had breached the duty to provide a written statement of terms and conditions required by section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that the fact the claimant had been a director of the company for much of her employment, between 2005 and 2017, was not an exceptional circumstance making the uplift unjust or inequitable, but it did not consider it just and equitable to increase the uplift to four weeks' pay.
The complaints of unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal, described in the judgment as breach of contract, were dismissed upon withdrawal.

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.
