Alan Leung 2nd Claimant: Dr Yui Bong Alexander Wan v London Laboratory Ltd — 2025

At London Central on 31 July 2025, Employment Judge Kara Lorrine found the first claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. The tribunal held that a deduction had been made between 1 and 5 September 2024, with gross deductions of £634.62, and that the first claimant also suffered £128.28 net financial loss attributable to that deduction. It also upheld the first claimant's breach of contract complaint for notice pay, finding that one month's notice pay was due at £2,750 gross.

The tribunal further found that the first claimant had taken 25 days' paid holiday but had accrued only 17 days by the date of dismissal. It held that the resulting holiday overpayment of £1,015.38 could be recouped by the respondent, so the damages for notice pay were reduced to £1,734.62. The final order for the first claimant was £2,497.51, although the component figures in the reasons sum to £2,497.52.

For the second claimant, the tribunal upheld the unauthorised deductions claim for underpayment of salary from 1 November 2023 to 5 September 2024. It found that the contractual salary was £72,000 gross, that payment had been made on a £65,000 gross basis, and that gross deductions totalled £12,357.66. After net payments of £6,632.26, the outstanding gross wages were £5,725.40.

The tribunal also upheld the second claimant's breach of contract claims for one month's notice pay and unpaid expenses. It found notice pay of £6,000 gross was due and unpaid. On expenses, the reasons state entitlement to £337.90 net, while the operative order awards £337.91; the judgment records a total award of £12,063.30 for the second claimant.
