Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt London Central on 3 April 2023, Employment Judge Deol heard the claimant in person and the respondent did not attend. The judgment amended the respondent's name to Soho Restaurant Group t/a Lalaland London Ltd and recorded that the claimant's claims for unpaid wages, unpaid expenses, and accrued and unpaid holiday pay were well founded.
The tribunal awarded £1,038.38 for unpaid wages and £121.12 for unpaid expenses. It also awarded a further £260, described as a 25% uplift on the unpaid wages claim under section 207 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992.
The holiday pay claim was also found well founded under Regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, but the written record supplied does not set out a separate monetary figure for that head of claim. The note records that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the written record being sent to the parties.

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.
