Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hawksworth, sitting alone at Reading by CVP on 11 March 2024, heard four complaints brought by Miss K Lynch against Marshall Eaton Holdings Limited. The claimant represented herself and Mr A Khan appeared as company representative for the respondent. The tribunal upheld each of the complaints brought.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period 1 December 2022 to 30 April 2023 and ordered payment of a gross sum recorded in the judgment as £20,8333.35 (apparently a typographical error for £208,333.35). The complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice succeeded, with a gross sum of £4,166.67 ordered for notice pay. The holiday pay complaint also succeeded as an unauthorised deduction, the respondent having failed to pay for holidays accrued but not taken at the end of employment, with £578.73 ordered. The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed for redundancy and ordered a statutory redundancy payment of £3,215.
The written judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided absent a request. The claimant agreed to return the respondent's laptop, with the parties to make arrangements.

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.
