Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Batten, sitting alone at Manchester by video platform on 18 and 19 July 2024, found the complaint of unfair dismissal to be well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £2,321.92, comprising a basic award of £1,286.00 and a compensatory award of £1,035.92.
The Tribunal also held that the claimant was entitled to 2 weeks' statutory notice at the termination of his employment and ordered the respondent to pay damages of £1,013.80, less any net sick pay already paid in the period 24 to 30 May 2023. The complaint about unpaid holiday entitlement was well-founded, with a further 2 days' holiday awarded in the net sum of £202.76.
The claim that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages was dismissed. Written reasons were not provided as reasons were given orally at the hearing; the PDF text contains no detailed legal reasoning or named legal tests.

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.
