Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn a default judgment after no response from Vortex Events Limited, Employment Judge Laidler ordered the respondent to pay Mr J Marchetti £4,681.91. The award was calculated by reference to unpaid wages and holiday pay for August 2020: 104 hours furlough pay at £8.46 per hour (£879.84) and 64 hours holiday pay at £10.58 per hour (£677.12), together with unpaid bank holidays during April and May 2020 (£269.47).
The judgment also included statutory minimum notice pay for one week, stated to arise because the written contract had never been finalised, and recorded that £1,331.96 had been deducted as an unauthorised deduction. A further £1,523.52 was awarded for accrued holiday pay at 144 hours at £10.58 per hour. The judgment is limited to the itemised default award and does not set out separate liability reasons beyond that calculation.

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.
