Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Faulkner, sitting alone at a remote video hearing, substituted Volga Investment Ltd as sole respondent. The claimant's complaint that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages between November 2020 and January 2021 was well-founded, and the tribunal ordered payment of £6,896.50 gross. The judgment records that £3,000 had already been paid to the claimant and could be deducted from the resulting net sum.
The claimant also succeeded on his complaint that the respondent failed to reimburse employment expenses, with £1,385.21 awarded in breach of contract. His complaint concerning compensation for entitlement to annual leave on termination was also well-founded, with £1,307.73 gross ordered, and his complaint about payment for holiday in the holiday year ending 10 November 2020 was well-founded, with £3,096.15 gross ordered because the tribunal had insufficient information to calculate the appropriate net sum. The remaining complaints were dismissed.

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.
