Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was made under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024. The tribunal found that Mr P Smith had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, and ordered Element Kitchens Limited to pay damages in the gross sum of £500.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. It ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the gross sum of £1,150 for that entitlement.
The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to comply with section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 by failing to provide the claimant with an itemised pay statement or statements. The judgment records no separate monetary award for that finding. The monetary awards recorded in the judgment are £500 and £1,150, totalling £1,650 before any interest that may become payable under the notice attached to the judgment if the award is not paid in full within the stated period.

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.
