Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the case at London South on 10 to 13 March 2025 and 2 April 2025 before Employment Judge Ramsden. The written judgment records that the Claimant's complaints of constructive unfair dismissal, holiday pay on termination, wrongful dismissal and notice pay, and unauthorised deductions from wages alternatively breach of contract in relation to sick pay were each found not well-founded and dismissed.
The Respondent's counterclaim was upheld. The tribunal ordered the Claimant to pay £1,009.28 in respect of company sick pay claimed and paid to him, and £5,625.42 in respect of Respondent property not returned on termination, making £6,634.70 in total.

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.
