Mr Quadri Akinode
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard Mr Quadri Akinode's claim only. It found that the evidence tended to show LJ Health and Wellbeing Ltd was his employer during the relevant period and that there was no sufficient evidence of any transfer of employment to Jacksonwell Recruitment Limited, so Jacksonwell was dismissed from the proceedings. Neither respondent filed a valid response in time, so the claims were undefended.
On the merits of the wage claim, the tribunal accepted Mr Akinode's ET1 case that he worked from 24 December 2023 to 21 February 2024 and had not been paid. It ordered LJ Health and Wellbeing Ltd to pay £567 in unpaid wages and £55 holiday pay, making a total award of £622 payable straight away.
The race discrimination claims were dismissed. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had not attended the hearing and had provided no evidence to support those claims, and it therefore dismissed them.

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.
