Tribunal's reasoning

By consent, the respondent's name was amended to Mr Rashid Khan t/a Rashid and Rashid Law Firm. The holiday pay claim was dismissed on withdrawal.

The tribunal held that the respondent made an unlawful deduction from the claimant's wages under section 13(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 by failing to pay her the national minimum wage under the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 and the National Minimum Wage Regulations 2015. It ordered payment of PS5,381.55 gross in respect of that claim.

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.
