Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Blackwell, sitting alone at Lincoln on 19 August 2019, granted the respondent's application to file a late response under Rule 20 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The judgment then determined three substantive claims brought by Mr A Hanley against Bird and Goodwin Limited.
The tribunal upheld the holiday pay claim and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £200 gross. It dismissed the claim for unlawful deduction from wages in respect of arrears.
The tribunal also upheld the claim for failure to provide particulars of contract under section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It stated that, in accordance with section 38 of the Employment Act 2002, it would be just and equitable to award the higher amount, which it assessed as 4 weeks' gross pay, totalling £1,600. The respondent was therefore ordered to pay a total gross sum of £1,800.

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.
