Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr Alan Pearson presented a claim on 9 September 2021 for unpaid holiday pay, said to be £3,072.25, after his employment with Cumbria County Council ended on 5 May 2021 under a COT3 agreement dated 6 May 2021. The earlier settlement, made in relation to case 2420668/2020, provided that the compensation payment was in full and final settlement of the existing claim and of all future claims arising from employment or its termination. The respondent applied to strike out the holiday pay claim under rule 37(1)(a).

Claims and outcomes

1 finding recorded

Claim type	Issue or finding	Outcome	Protected characteristic	Award
Holiday pay	Claim for pay in lieu of untaken holiday on termination. The Tribunal held it had no reasonable prospect of success because it was compromised by clause 4.2 of the COT3 settlement, which expressly covered Working Time Regulations 1998 claims. The Tribunal also rejected the alternative argument that late payment of the settlement sum released the claimant from the COT3.	Struck out	—	—

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.
