Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at London South by CVP on 6 August 2024 before Employment Judge Truscott KC with lay members Ms C Bonner and Mr S Townsend, heard the claim of Ms C Jeffries against Steve Ward Services (UK) Limited (in liquidation). The claimant appeared in person; the respondent did not appear and was not represented.
The tribunal upheld the claim of unfair dismissal and awarded a basic award of £1,142 (calculated as 2 x £571). It also awarded unpaid holiday pay of £3,069.15, calculated as 28 days at £146.15 less 25% for tax and National Insurance. The total award was £4,211.15.
All other claims were dismissed. Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing; written reasons would only be produced on a request made at the hearing or in writing within 14 days, and the written record does not set out the tribunal's substantive reasoning on the dismissed claims.

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.
