Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Balroop, sitting alone via CVP with the respondent not in attendance, found in favour of the claimant on all heads. The unfair dismissal complaint was well-founded, the wrongful dismissal complaint was well-founded, the respondent was held liable for unlawful deductions in September 2023, and the holiday pay complaint was well-founded as breach of contract for failure to pay accrued but untaken leave on termination.
The tribunal awarded a total of £60,179.90, made up of: a basic award of £1,400, a compensatory award of £36,960.20 (loss of earnings/pension components plus £500 loss of statutory rights and £1,740.05 grossing-up of the amount over £30,000), unlawful deductions of £5,000, wrongful dismissal damages of £1,153.85, holiday pay of £2,321.82, and a 25% ACAS uplift of £12,143.98 on the sub-total of £48,575.92.

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.
