Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing proceeded in the respondent's absence after its application to postpone the hearing was refused. The tribunal found that Mr L Arendarski was a worker of LDNCHAUFFEUR LTD. On that basis, and on the facts found at the hearing, the tribunal concluded that he had not been paid for accrued but untaken holiday pay and awarded him £2,712.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in March 2022. It accepted that it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring that claim until he did, and that the claim was brought within a reasonable time thereafter. The tribunal awarded £476 for that deduction.
In addition, the tribunal found a breach of contract because the respondent failed to reimburse the claimant for expenses incurred cleaning the respondent's car. It awarded £270 for that claim. The total payable to the claimant was £3,458, and the tribunal recorded that the claimant is responsible for any tax due in respect of the amounts ordered for holiday pay and wages.

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.
