Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 6 September 2022 and the respondent did not present a valid response on time or attend the hearing. The tribunal amended the respondent's name to EC1 Coffee House Limited. Employment Judge Keogh heard the case by CVP at London Central on 28 February 2023 and gave judgment orally, with written reasons not provided.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, failure to pay notice pay, failure to pay holiday pay and unlawful deductions from wages. The judgment does not set out extended reasons in the written record, but it records that each of those claims succeeded on the basis accepted by the tribunal at the hearing.
On remedy, the tribunal ordered payment of £1,500 as a basic award and £1,000 as a compensatory award for the unfair dismissal claim. It also awarded £2,500 net for holiday pay and £806 net for unlawful deductions from wages. The judgment states that there was no additional loss in respect of the notice pay claim.
The total award was £5,806, ordered to be paid without deductions by 14 March 2023.

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.
