Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Watford on 19 June 2024. The respondents did not attend. The tribunal found that the Claimant's employment transferred from the Second Respondent to the First Respondent on 2 August 2020 by virtue of regulation 4 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006.
The tribunal upheld the Claimant's wage claim and ordered the First Respondent to pay £3,747 gross for an unauthorised deduction from wages. It also upheld the breach of contract claim in relation to notice pay, finding that the Claimant was dismissed in breach of contract on 9 January 2021 and awarding £174 gross as statutory notice pay.
The tribunal further found that the First Respondent had not paid accrued holiday pay for the period from 2 August 2020 to 9 January 2021 and ordered £452.26 gross. The tribunal stated that the First Respondent was accordingly ordered to pay £4,373.26 in total.
The Claimant's discrimination claim on the grounds of age was dismissed.

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.
