Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Webster Date issued a Rule 21 judgment on 6 July 2023 in favour of Ms Chloe Ottewell against Swish News Limited and Swish A Limited. The tribunal upheld her claims for unpaid wages and breach of contract.
The judgment lists the sums payable as £769.20 for unpaid wages covering 18/10/2022-27/10/2022, £4,351.78 for unpaid wages covering 28/10/2022-11/12/2022, £701.92 for one week's notice pay, £500.00 for contractual bonus, £466.15 for expenses and meal allowance, £886.14 for accrued but untaken holiday, and £256.05 for unpaid pension contributions. All sums are stated to be gross.
The judgment states that the total payable by the respondents is £7,895.24. Because this is a short Rule 21 judgment and the text does not allocate a separate subtotal to each claim, no claim-level remedy split is recorded here. The extracted itemised figures do not fully reconcile arithmetically with the stated total, so the total is recorded as given by the tribunal.

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.
