Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a claim for unpaid holiday pay relating to her current role as a Postwoman. The claim form referred to non-payment of holiday pay for a week when she was off, and a later email stated that she was owed £854.77, but no explanation was given for how that sum was calculated.
The tribunal had directed the claimant to provide a remedy calculation, supporting documents, and then a schedule of loss setting out the amount claimed and how it had been calculated. The tribunal received no document complying with that order, and there had been no later communication seeking postponement or indicating settlement.
The final hearing proceeded in the absence of both parties. The tribunal found that there was no evidence before it in support of the claim and that the claimant had failed to prove the claim on the balance of probabilities. The holiday pay claim 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.
