Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to file an ET3 within the time limit and did not appear or provide representation. The tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 and considered the information provided by the claimant alone.
The claimant's claim under Regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 was found well founded. The tribunal accepted that 6.5 days of annual leave had accrued but remained untaken at the date of termination. Using an annual salary of £38,000 and 260 working days per year, the amount due was calculated as £960, less proper deductions required by law.
The claimant's notice pay claim under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994 succeeded. The tribunal awarded damages equal to one month's pay, calculated at £3,166.67, again subject to proper deductions. The judgment records that all other claims were dismissed upon withdrawal.

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.
