Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr J Broom brought claims against Omega Commercials Ltd (in creditors voluntary liquidation) for unlawful deduction from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and for holiday pay under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal recorded that the respondent had emailed saying the company had dissolved in April 2024, but Companies House showed that it was in creditors voluntary liquidation, so the hearing proceeded in the respondent's absence under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.

Both claims succeeded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay Mr Broom £1,260 gross for unlawful deduction from wages and £450 gross for holiday pay, making a total award of £1,710 gross. The written record also included the standard interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that the relevant decision day was 20 August 2024, the calculation day was 21 August 2024, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8% per annum if the award remained unpaid after 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.
