Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Gary Anoche, brought claims of unpaid wages and race discrimination against two respondents arising from work performed in late 2023. The Tribunal, sitting at Liverpool before Employment Judge Barker on 17 October 2024, heard the matter alongside thirteen related claims. Neither respondent submitted a valid response in time, so the claims were undefended. Neither party attended the hearing.
The Tribunal dismissed the second respondent, Jacksonwell Recruitment Limited, from the proceedings on the basis that the claimant had stopped working for the first respondent well before Jacksonwell was incorporated on 1 February 2024, and there was no evidence the claimant had ever been engaged by Jacksonwell or that his contract had been transferred to it. The wages claim against the first respondent was upheld in the sum of £132.80, comprising £11.80 underpayment for a shift on 6/7 October 2023 and £121 unpaid for a shift on 24/25 December 2023.
The race discrimination claims were dismissed because the claimant did not attend the hearing or provide the Tribunal with any evidence in support of those claims, despite being directed at a case management hearing on 22 July 2024 to provide such evidence by 19 August 2024.

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.
