Ms. M I Botye
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote hearing on 13 January 2021, Employment Judge P Klimov, sitting alone, found that Knightsbridge Residents Management Company Limited had been in repudiatory breach of Ms M I Botye's contract by failing to provide work. The tribunal held that the claimant accepted that breach and that her contract ended on 1 September 2020, so she was constructively dismissed on that date.
The tribunal also found two separate breaches of contract. It ordered the respondent to pay £380 for dismissing the claimant without notice and £570 for failing to pay 7.5 days of accrued but untaken holiday.
The claimant's claim that there had been an unauthorised deduction from wages for the period 13 April 2020 to 1 September 2020, or alternatively a breach of contract for non-payment of wages for that period, was dismissed.

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.
