Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing in Newcastle by video on 8 December 2022, Employment Judge Aspden found that Mr L Herron’s contract had been terminated without notice, so the respondent was liable in breach of contract. The tribunal also found that the respondent had made unlawful deductions from wages by failing to pay the full salary due for January to April 2022 under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal further held that Mr Herron was entitled to payment for accrued but untaken holiday only in relation to holiday accrued between 1 January 2022 and the termination of employment in April 2022. The same holiday claim failed to the extent it related to holiday accrued before 1 January 2022.
The respondent was ordered to pay £5,208 as damages for breach of contract, £13,250 for unlawful deductions from wages, and £1,601.94 for accrued untaken holiday. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

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.
