Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting as a panel with Employment Judge S. Matthews and lay members Mr D. Kendall and Mr M. Bhatti MBE, gave a unanimous judgment that the claimant Mr D. Suleiman was unfairly dismissed by Bamboo Connect Limited. Remedy for the unfair dismissal complaint was not determined at this hearing and has been listed for a separate remedy hearing at Watford tribunal on 18 March 2026.
The Tribunal also upheld the complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages. It found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant the full wages due in December 2024 and ordered payment of £7,090.32 gross, and that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant in lieu of accrued but untaken annual leave on termination of employment and ordered payment of £1,211.52 gross. The total sum ordered for unauthorised deductions was £8,301.84, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days; the underlying reasoning for the unfair dismissal finding is therefore not set out in this written record.

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.
