Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningSitting at Croydon by CVP on 8 December 2025, Employment Judge Leith heard the joined claims of Miss C Baker (cases 2302761/2025 and 2302772/2025) against Patrick O'Donnell, Simon Cox and Warwick Square Developments Limited. The claimant appeared in person; no respondent attended or was represented.
The tribunal found that the Third Respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages between 1 April and 28 October 2024 and ordered payment of the gross sum of £10,669.35. It also found a failure to pay accrued but untaken annual leave on termination, and ordered payment of £872.20 (calculated as 18 days accrued less four public holidays taken, leaving 14 days at £62.30 per day).
The claims of unfair dismissal and redundancy payment were dismissed as the claimant lacked the necessary qualifying service. The claims against the First and Second Respondents (the individuals) were dismissed.

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.
