Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the remote hearing on 13 July 2021 before Employment Judge Gordon Walker, the tribunal heard claims by Mr T Kittoe against LayrCake Ltd for unauthorised deduction from wages, holiday pay accrued but untaken on termination, and breach of contract. The respondent was represented by its CEO and founder; the claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal held that the unauthorised deduction from wages claim under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded and ordered payment of the net sum of £601. It also held that the holiday pay claim under regulation 14 Working Time Regulations 1998 was well founded and ordered payment of £799.46 net.
The tribunal further found that the respondent was in breach of contract by dismissing the claimant without sufficient notice and ordered payment of £88.83 net for that claim. The judgment does not record any separate award breakdown beyond those three sums, and the total of the awards is £1,489.29.

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.
