Mr L Moulding v The Three Crowns (Wisborough Green) Limited — 2023

The case was heard at London South via CVP on 26 July 2023 before Employment Judge Malik sitting alone. The Respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the clerk telephoned and emailed the Respondent and gave an opportunity to attend, but no response was received. The tribunal also amended the Respondent's name to The Three Crowns (Wisborough Green) Limited as the correct legal name.

The tribunal held that the Respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages by failing to pay the Claimant's wages from 1 November to 18 November. That complaint was well founded and succeeded. The tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay £1,469.22, described as the gross sum unlawfully deducted.

The tribunal also held that the Respondent had made an unlawful deduction from wages by failing to pay the Claimant in lieu of accrued but untaken holiday for the 2022 leave year. The complaint of failure to pay holiday pay was well founded and succeeded. The tribunal ordered payment of £1,153.84, also described as the gross sum unlawfully deducted.

The total amount payable by the Respondent to the Claimant was recorded as £2,623.06. The written judgment was sent to the parties on 25 August 2023. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, so no written reasons were to be provided unless requested within the stated time limit.
