Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found the claimant's holiday pay complaint well-founded. It held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay the claimant for holidays accrued but not taken when the claimant's employment ended, and ordered payment of £1,041.04.
The tribunal also found that, when proceedings began, the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. It found no exceptional circumstances making a section 38 Employment Act 2002 award unjust or inequitable, and awarded four weeks' gross pay, amounting to £915.20.

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.
