(1) Jade Saunders (2304804/2022 and 2300173/2023) (2) Lynda Hopkins (2300406/2023) (3) Nigel Langdale (2300172/2023) v The Sandgate Hotel Folkestone Limited — 2023

The hearing was held remotely on 11 August 2023 before Employment Judge B Smith sitting alone. The respondent was amended to The Sandgate Hotel Folkestone Ltd, and the judgment records that all three claimants were employed by that respondent at all material times.

The tribunal dismissed Lynda Hopkins's unfair dismissal claim in case 2300406/2023 upon withdrawal. Jade Saunders's second claim, 2300173/2023, was struck out because it duplicated claim 2304804/2022, which had been submitted first. The judgment states that claim 2304804/2022 was to proceed on unpaid wages, holiday pay and notice pay, including any claimable consequential losses.

The respondent's applications to strike out the claims based on alleged failure to identify the correct respondent and any discrepancy between the ACAS certificate and the respondent were dismissed. The tribunal found those errors were minor and that it was in the interests of justice for the claims to proceed. No substantive liability decision or monetary award was made in this judgment.
