Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs Gillian Lewis brought claims against Celebrity Global Holdings Ltd for unpaid wages, holiday pay and breach of contract. The employment judge recorded that neither party attended the hearing, but still determined the claims on the papers and oral reasons given at the hearing. The unpaid wages claim succeeded and the tribunal awarded £39,762.69 gross pay for unpaid salary between 28 April 2019 and 1 November 2019.
The holiday pay claim was dismissed. The tribunal said that, so far as it related to holiday taken during employment that had not been paid, the point was already covered by the wages claim. So far as it related to a payment on termination for holiday, the tribunal said there was insufficient information about the holidays the claimant had taken to uphold the claim.
The breach of contract claim succeeded and the tribunal awarded £25,000. The judgment states that the claim concerned unpaid pension contributions during employment, said to be £6,250, and wrongful dismissal / pay in lieu of notice said to amount to six months' gross salary of £62,500. The tribunal noted that its breach of contract jurisdiction was limited by the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 and the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994, and that it could not award more than £25,000 in relation to the same contract.

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.
