Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which Employment Judge Sweeney found the claimant's claim for unlawful deduction of wages to be well-founded. The judgment records that the claimant's employment ended on 24 January 2020 and that a final payment was made on 31 January 2020.
At the end of employment, the claimant had accrued holiday that had been carried over from the previous year by agreement with the respondent. The respondent agreed that he was entitled to £961.53 in respect of that accrued but untaken holiday. The judgment also records that the claimant had recovered some, but not all, of the holiday money due through the Insolvency Service.
On the material provided with the claim form, the tribunal was satisfied that there was sufficient information to determine the claim and award the claimant the balance outstanding after partial recovery, namely £436.53. The judgment therefore records a single monetary award of £436.53 gross against the respondent.

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.
