In person assisted by Latvian interpreter Mrs Nalivaiko For the v Respondent — 2022

The case was heard at Cambridge Employment Tribunal on 24 May 2022 before Employment Judge King, with the claimant appearing in person through a Latvian interpreter and the respondent represented by counsel. The tribunal dealt only with the claims set out in the written judgment and recorded that there were no other complaints within its jurisdiction.

The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim was struck out because the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear it. The judgment does not record any substantive findings on the merits of that claim.

The claimant’s holiday pay claim was dealt with by reference to two time periods. The claim for holiday pay in July and August 2021 was dismissed as not well founded. The claim for holiday pay for December 2020 and earlier was struck out because it had been presented out of time and the tribunal therefore had no jurisdiction to hear it.

The claimant’s complaint under section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, relating to itemised pay statements or payslips, was also dismissed as not well founded. No monetary award was made.
