Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Ahmed sitting alone at Leicester ordered the respondent, Office of Trade Ltd T/A Saints of Mokha, to pay the claimant, Mr L Cojan, outstanding holiday pay of £249.48 net and £249.48 net for unlawful deduction of wages. The tribunal also ordered £178.20 net by way of damages for breach of contract for failure to give the minimum notice required by section 86 Employment Rights Act 1996.
In addition, the tribunal ordered two weeks' pay of £356.40 net under section 38 Employment Act 2002 because the respondent had failed to comply with section 1 Employment Rights Act 1996 concerning written initial employment particulars. The claimant was required to give credit for £150 already paid by the respondent.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. The judgment records a subtotal of £1,033.56 and a final total award of £883.56 after deduction of the £150 credit.

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.
