Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a hearing in Cambridge by video, Employment Judge Dobbie heard the claimant's claim concerning a bonus, unpaid wages during his own sickness absence, and unpaid wages while he attended appointments for his wife. The tribunal held that the claim for unlawful deduction from wages and breach of contract was not well founded and dismissed it.

The written record states that reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing. No written reasons will be provided unless a request was made in time.

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.
