Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Loy, sitting alone at Newcastle by CVP on 15 December 2023, found that Mr J Cooper’s claim for unlawful deductions from wages in respect of unpaid approved mileage expenses and parking expenses succeeded. The tribunal also found that his claim for unlawful deductions from wages for unpaid accrued holiday pay on termination succeeded.
The claimant’s breach of contract claim for unpaid notice pay also succeeded. The remedy section records that the notice element was agreed at £600.00 in damages, and that the holiday pay figure was calculated as 2.5 days accrued unpaid holiday at £76.71 per day, producing £190.53 gross.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant’s claim for unlawful deductions from wages for unpaid car allowance as not well-founded. The remedy total was £954.50, made up of £190.53 holiday pay, £600.00 notice pay, and £163.97 for unpaid expenses reimbursing mileage at the approved rate of 45p per mile together with parking expenses.

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.
