Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Freshwater recorded that Aaqua Limited had unlawfully failed to pay the Claimant wages in the gross sum of £5,416.00 and holiday pay in the gross sum of £2,125.00. Those findings were made in the written judgment dated 11 May 2023 following the hearing at Central London Employment Tribunal.
The tribunal also found two breaches of contract relating to the Claimant's occupational pension arrangements. It found that £1,354.15 had been deducted from the Claimant's pay but not invested into her occupational pension fund, and that the Respondent had failed to make its 4% pension contributions for May to October 2022, with the amounts not invested stated to be £1,083.35.
The tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay the Claimant £9,978.50 described as unpaid wages and damages for breach of contract, and to account to HMRC for any tax and National Insurance due on that sum. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
