Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Slater entered a Rule 21 judgment for Mrs N Denmade and others against Trinity Brands UK Limited on 1 March 2022. The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of the gross sums listed for each claimant. It also found that the claimants had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and ordered damages in the net sums set out in the judgment, noting that the figures were based on gross pay and were likely to be taxed as Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal further found that the claimants were dismissed by reason of redundancy and were entitled to redundancy payments in the amounts listed. It also found unauthorised deductions from wages arising from failure to pay accrued but untaken holiday entitlement and ordered the gross sums listed for each claimant. The judgment states that gross sums for unauthorised deductions from wages are subject to the appropriate deductions for tax and national insurance, if any, for which the respondent must account to HMRC. Across the listed awards, the total comes to £219,663.63.

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.
