Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing, the tribunal ordered that case numbers 3305983/2023 and 3306032/2023 be heard together. Employment Judge Daniels sat alone.
The tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claimant's claims about pay between September 2021 and February 2022, and between 3 August 2022 and 26 October 2022. It found those matters concerned alleged breach of contract arising from the claimant's transfer and later periods of suspension, sickness absence and/or being stood down from service, rather than unlawful deduction from wages. It also found those claims were out of time and that it was not reasonably practicable to extend time.
The tribunal also held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claimant's holiday pay claim between November 2022 and February 2023 for £1,697.96, or a further or related claim for £247.40, because those claims likewise related to alleged breach of contract rather than unlawful deduction from wages. The judgment stated that no further claims remained within the tribunal's jurisdiction, so the proceedings were brought to a close.

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.
