Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At London South Croydon on 4 February 2020, Employment Judge Sage recorded that the claim succeeded to the extent of two monetary orders against Secret Garden Montessori Childcare. The written judgment states that the respondent was ordered to pay Mr. R Ottery wages due and owing but unpaid at the date of termination in the sum of £1,205, and accrued but untaken holiday pay in the sum of £480.

The record is a short oral-reasons judgment. It does not set out separate factual findings or a detailed legal analysis in the written text, but it does record the two heads of award and the resulting total payment of £1,685. It also notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
