Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the second respondent's name to Wine Direct (Sussex) Ltd. It then determined claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and holiday pay against Wine Warehouse Ltd, Wine Direct (Sussex) Ltd, and Peter Rehberg.
The claim against Wine Warehouse Ltd for unauthorised deductions from wages was dismissed as not well founded. The holiday pay claim against Wine Warehouse Ltd succeeded, and the tribunal ordered that respondent to pay the claimant £517.20 gross for holiday accrued but not taken or paid on termination.
The claims against Wine Direct (Sussex) Ltd and Peter Rehberg for unauthorised deductions from wages were dismissed as not well founded, and the holiday pay claims against both of them were also dismissed. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
