Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld all three complaints brought by Miss R Davies against Motorflix Media Limited. It found an unauthorised deduction from wages for the period 1 July to 17 August 2023 and ordered the respondent to pay £2,439.37, described as the gross sum deducted, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The tribunal also upheld the notice pay complaint as a breach of contract claim. It awarded £2,307.69 as damages for notice pay, stating that the figure had been calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as post-employment notice pay. The holiday pay complaint was also well-founded: the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages by failing to pay for holidays accrued but untaken when the claimant's employment ended, and awarded £1,038.46, again with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing on 1 March 2024 before Employment Judge Welch. The written record notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in time.

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.
