Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at East London Hearing Centre by video and telephone on 12 March 2024 before Employment Judge C H O'Rourke, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent not in attendance or represented. The tribunal recorded that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unlawful deductions from the claimant's wages in the sum of £291.41, had failed to pay arrears of holiday pay in the sum of £193.60, and had failed to pay a week's pay in lieu of notice in the sum of £390.90. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant a total of £875.91.
The claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, non-payment of a redundancy payment, and 'other payments' were dismissed on withdrawal. The short record does not provide further factual findings or legal analysis on those withdrawn claims.

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.
