Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Liverpool by CVP on 18 August 2023, Employment Judge Dilks sat alone. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent did not attend. The tribunal amended the respondent's name to The Ovan Pizzeria and Bar Limited in voluntary liquidation.
The tribunal upheld two complaints. It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's pay contrary to Part II Employment Rights Act 1996 in respect of the period 2 February 2023 to 4 April 2023, and ordered payment of the net sum of £114.09 as claimed deducted from pay. It also upheld the holiday pay complaint, finding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from pay by failing to pay holiday pay, and ordered payment of £200 gross.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The notice on interest states that the relevant decision day was 6 September 2023, the calculation day was 7 September 2023, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8% per annum, but no separate interest amount is quantified in the judgment text. The monetary awards recorded in the judgment total £314.09.

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.
