Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at East London Employment Tribunal on 18 July 2019 before Employment Judge Gilbert. The respondent did not attend and no response had been entered. The tribunal recorded that the claims succeeded.
The tribunal found in the claimant's favour for unlawful deductions from wages, breach of contract in relation to holiday pay accrued but not taken on termination, and breach of contract in relation to notice pay. It ordered payment of gross sums of £986.58 for 126 hours worked in January 2019, £1,137.23 for 145 hours and 24 minutes of holiday accrued between April 2018 and 26 January 2019, and £274.50 for one week's notice pay based on 35 hours at £7.83 per hour. The tribunal noted that any tax due on the gross payments was the claimant's responsibility.

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.
