Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Nottingham on 17 January 2025, Employment Judge M Butler sitting alone struck out the claimant's claims for unauthorised deductions from wages and holiday pay. As against Barn House Bakery Limited, the tribunal held that the claims were duplicates of previous claims brought by the claimant and settled by a COT3 agreement dated 5 June 2024, so they were struck out as an abuse of process.
As against Ms A Stasiak, the tribunal struck out the same claims because she was not the claimant's employer and the tribunal found they had no reasonable prospects of success. The judgment records that reasons were given orally and that no further written reasons would be provided unless requested in writing within 14 days of the decision being sent.

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.
