Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed proceedings under case number 2501103/2025 on withdrawal as a duplicate claim. The same judgment also covers case number 2500874/2026.
In the combined judgment, the tribunal found Mr M Aravola's claim of unauthorised deduction of wages well-founded under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It ordered HP Hospitality (Piercebridge) Ltd to pay £6,490.98 gross. The claim for unpaid holiday pay on termination also succeeded under regulation 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, with a gross award of £641.03.
The judgment states that the total payable is £7,132, although the two individual awards sum to £7,132.01. Summary reasons were given orally at the hearing on 6 July 2026; the written judgment records the outcomes and awards without setting out the underlying factual reasoning.

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.
