Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr Pawel Gromski was not dismissed by Marshalls Truck Bodies Limited. On that basis, his unfair dismissal claim under s.94 Employment Rights Act 1996 and his wrongful dismissal claim, described in the judgment as dismissal in breach of contract, both failed.
The tribunal upheld the claim for unlawful deduction of wages under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996. It held that there had been a deduction in respect of overpaid annual leave entitlement and awarded compensation for 5 days of unpaid wages, totalling £540 gross.
The judgment records that there were no further matters outstanding after that award. It also notes that the figures were awarded gross and may be subject to deduction for tax, national insurance, and any pension contribution already made.

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.
