Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Rule 21. It dismissed the claim against Harry Major Machine Tool Co, but recorded that Ms Pritchard's claims against Harry Major MacHine-UK Ltd (in voluntary liquidation) succeeded to the extent that she had not received payment from the Insolvency Service and, for breach of contract, only to the extent of the Employment Tribunal's jurisdiction.
Against the first respondent, the tribunal awarded £2,036.53 for unlawful deduction of wages, £2,255.76 as pay in lieu of accrued untaken holiday, and £25,000.00 in damages for breach of contract. The total award was £29,292.29.

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.
