Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a Rule 21 judgment in which Employment Judge Speker OBE recorded that the respondent, H Coulthards & Sons, had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. The tribunal therefore ordered the respondent to pay Mr M Matthews £426.45.

The judgment contains no further findings on liability, no separate breakdown of remedy components, and no additional legal reasoning beyond the Rule 21 determination and the award for unpaid holiday entitlement.

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.
