Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Ford Brown brought a complaint under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 about payment for annual leave accrued but not taken when his employment ended, together with an automatic unfair dismissal complaint under section 104 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and a wrongful dismissal complaint. The case was heard at Manchester on 10 and 11 August 2023 before Employment Judge Leach, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by counsel.
The tribunal recorded that the annual leave complaint was dismissed following withdrawal by the claimant. It further held that the automatic unfair dismissal complaint and the wrongful dismissal complaint did not succeed and were dismissed. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. No monetary award was 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.
