Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr A Shiekh, appeared in person at the East London Hearing Centre on 28 August 2019. The respondent did not attend and was not represented. Employment Judge G Tobin heard the claimant's evidence and dealt with the listed wage-related complaints on that basis.
The tribunal held that the claimant's claims for a shortfall in wages and/or expenses, and his complaint for paternity pay and wages, were issued out of time. It was not satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaints to have been presented within three months of the cause of action arising. On that basis, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the complaints.
The respondent's outstanding application for wasted costs was rejected because the tribunal accepted the claimant's evidence that he had not received the Notice of Hearing for the 17 June 2019 hearing. As there were no further outstanding matters, the case was dismissed.

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.
