Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined the case under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013 because the respondent did not file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance. It decided the claims could properly be determined without a hearing. The tribunal also stated that it did not have jurisdiction to award compensation for stress and inconvenience.
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay salary to the claimants and ordered payment of the sums set out in the judgment, together with accounting to HMRC for any tax and national insurance due. Ms Gifty Wanzola was awarded £3,413.36 plus £75 under section 24(2) of the Employment Rights Act. Mr Dren Spanca was awarded £3,039.45, and Mr Nathan Wanzola was awarded £2,173.96.
No award was made for Ms Maria Fora and Mr Franklin Stewart because the amounts claimed were not known. The tribunal ordered each of them to write to the tribunal within 14 days providing a breakdown of the sums claimed.

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.
