Mrs Ghada Al- Naimi v Buildmaster Construction Services Limited and 1 other — 2024

In its judgment dated 23 July 2024, the Employment Tribunal at London South recorded unanimous findings in joined claims by Mrs Ghada Al- Naimi against Buildmaster Construction Services Limited and Mr Ahmad Al- Naimi. The respondent conceded the claims for unlawful deductions from wages, failure to provide a statement of particulars of employment, holiday pay for the holiday year ending 24 September 2023, and accrued untaken holiday. The tribunal awarded £3,628.58 gross, £1,017.70 gross, £642.46 gross, and £2,215.40 gross respectively, making a total of £7,504.14 on the monetary claims decided in this written record.

The tribunal also held that the claimant was unfairly dismissed and that her claim for constructive unfair dismissal succeeded. It found there was no fair reason for dismissal. The basic and compensatory award for that claim were left to a separate remedies hearing. The wrongful dismissal claim likewise succeeded because the claimant was not paid in lieu of notice following her resignation; on the tribunal's findings she was entitled to 12 weeks' pay, with the amount to be determined later.
