Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Mark Pattison brought claims against The Huntsman Newton Aycliffe Limited for unauthorised deductions from wages under s.13 Employment Rights Act 1996 and for failure to pay holiday pay under the Working Time Regulations 1998. The case was heard at Newcastle Employment Tribunal on 13 October 2023 before Employment Judge McGregor, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Carl Mellor, appearing in person on behalf of the company.
The tribunal upheld the wages claim. It found that the respondent made an unlawful deduction from the claimant’s pay in relation to basic pay for the period 1 April 2023 to 30 April 2023, and ordered payment of £2,333.00, described as one month’s basic pay gross.
The tribunal also upheld the holiday pay claim under reg. 30(1)(b) of the Working Time Regulations 1998. It found that holiday pay remained due for accrued but untaken leave between 10 September 2022 and 29 April 2023, calculated as 142.4 hours at £13.00 per hour, producing an award of £1,851.20 gross. The total sum ordered payable to the claimant was £4,184.20 gross by 6 November 2023.

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.
