Mr Jeffrey McHugh
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn this Rule 21 judgment, Employment Judge Arullendran held that Mr Jeffrey McHugh's claims against Mr Christopher Hadwin and Ms Judith Hadwin were well founded. The judgment records successful claims for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, holiday pay under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, breach of contract/notice pay, redundancy pay, and a claim under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002.
The tribunal awarded £274.00 for the unlawful deduction of wages claim, £191.80 for holiday pay, and £274.00 for breach of contract/notice pay, expressly noting that the latter figure took account of the claimant's earnings from new employment. The redundancy payment was assessed at £7,272.00.
The tribunal also found the section 38 Employment Act 2002 claim well founded and ordered payment of two weeks' wages in the sum of £606.00. The total award was £8,617.80, and the judgment states that the awards were net awards where applicable, with the respondent liable for any tax and national insurance due on those sums.

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.
