Mr Jonathan Gately v Alpine Vending Company Limited — 2024

The case was dealt with at a remote hearing before Employment Judge G Tobin sitting alone on 14 March 2024. The claimant, Mr Jonathan Gately, attended in person with his father-in-law; the respondent, Alpine Vending Company Limited, was represented by its Managing Director. The judgment records that the hearing was remote by video and that an in-person hearing was not held because the matter was listed for a case management hearing and the relevant matters could be determined remotely.

The judgment does not contain substantive findings on liability for the pleaded employment claims. Instead, it records that the parties had reached a settlement. On that basis, the tribunal ordered that the respondent pay the claimant £1,860.00 within 28 days of the hearing date, and stated that proceedings were concluded.

The accompanying notice sets out the tribunal interest information, including that the relevant decision day was 18 March 2024, the calculation day was 19 March 2024, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8% if the sum remained unpaid after 14 days. No separate award breakdown, factual findings, or legal tests are recorded in the judgment text supplied.
