Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard Halima Akter's claim against Care Premium Limited on 2 December 2024. The respondent did not attend. Although the claim was presented outside the applicable time limits, the tribunal found that timely presentation had not been reasonably practicable and that the claim had been presented within a further reasonable period. It therefore allowed the claim to proceed.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. The tribunal found that Care Premium Limited had made unauthorised deductions from Akter's wages during August to October 2023 and ordered it to pay £4,756.76, the gross sum deducted.
The holiday pay complaint was also well-founded. The respondent had failed to pay for holidays accrued but not taken when Akter's employment ended. The tribunal awarded £422.48 for that claim, bringing the total owed to £5,179.24. Akter is responsible for any tax or National Insurance on both awards. The judgment, dated 27 July 2026, provides for interest at 8% per annum on any amount remaining unpaid 14 days after its date; it does not state a quantified interest award.

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.
