Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Emery, sitting alone at London Central by CVP on 29 April 2024, determined the claims of Mr J Patio against Live London Limited. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 26 July to 8 August 2023, and ordered payment of two weeks' wages at £650 per week, totalling £1,350 gross. A separate complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was also well-founded, with a further £1,350 awarded as damages, calculated on a gross basis to reflect likely Post Employment Notice Pay tax treatment.
The holiday pay complaint was upheld on the basis that the respondent failed to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken at the end of employment; £2,295 was awarded. Under section 163 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal determined that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,869. The complaint of unfair dismissal was also well-founded, and the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a compensatory award of £7,352.66.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing, with written reasons to follow only on request. The written judgment was sent to the parties on 4 July 2024.

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.
