Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 11 October 2019 at London Central, the respondent did not attend and had not entered a notice of appearance. Employment Judge A James amended the respondent's name to Centre for Arabic Language Training Limited and granted the claimants leave to amend their claims to include redundancy pay, notice pay and holiday pay, as well as unpaid wages.
The tribunal awarded the claimants the sums itemised in the judgment. Miss I Qaddourah was awarded £1,050 redundancy pay, £9,000 notice pay, £12,000 arrears of wages and £3,174.23 holiday pay, making £25,224.23. Mrs R Scharaf was awarded £2,500 notice pay, £10,000 arrears of wages and £3,220.22 holiday pay, with redundancy pay recorded as nil, making £15,720.22. Miss J Zaveri was awarded £483.04 notice pay, £4,200 arrears of wages and £644.86 holiday pay, with redundancy pay recorded as nil, making £5,327.90.
Mrs H K Ehlelbawi was awarded £1,312.50 redundancy pay, £12,500 notice pay, £6,250 arrears of wages and £5,367.04 holiday pay, making £25,429.54. The four individual totals add to £71,701.89. The written record gives no separate liability reasoning beyond the uncontested hearing and the arithmetic of the awards.
The judgment also records that Companies House showed the respondent as active but subject to an active proposal to strike off, and the judge suggested the claimants seek advice about enforcement of the judgment.

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.
