Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge G Tobin, sitting alone at Manchester Employment Tribunal on 1 November 2024 by video, determined three money claims brought by Mr Brenden Johns against Dragon Football Academy Limited. The claimant attended in person and the respondent was represented by Mr B Hendley (consultant). Written reasons were not produced because reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written request was recorded in the judgment.
The Tribunal found in the claimant's favour on each claim. He succeeded in his claim for non-payment of wages and was awarded £1,015.30 gross; he succeeded in his claim for notice pay and was awarded £1,846.15 gross; and he succeeded in his claim for accrued and unpaid annual leave pay and was awarded £646.10 gross. The respondent was ordered to pay compensation and damages totalling £3,507.55 gross, which the judgment notes may be subject to deductions for tax and national insurance.
The document also sets out the standard notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, identifying 24 January 2025 as the relevant decision day and 25 January 2025 as the calculation day, with the stipulated rate of interest at 8% per annum should the award remain unpaid beyond 14 days.

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.
