Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr L Bruford's case against Hadsup Limited was heard by video conference at Reading on 22 November 2022 before Employment Judge Hawksworth. The tribunal held that his claims for arrears of pay, notice pay and holiday pay succeeded, and ordered payment of £1,250 for arrears of pay for the week 21 to 28 February 2022, £5,000 for pay during the notice period, and £1,375 for 5.5 days' accrued but untaken holiday.
The judgment recorded that the total on those heads was £7,625, from which £750 owed by the claimant to the respondent was deducted, leaving £6,875 due directly to the claimant. The tribunal also found that he had not been given payslips and that unnotified deductions of £371 per week had been made for 5 weeks, in breach of section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and ordered £1,855 in respect of those deductions, with compliance to be satisfied by evidence that the sum had been paid to HMRC.

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.
