Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge S Matthews, sitting alone, determined a default-judgment remedy hearing where none of the three respondents had filed a response. The Judge found that the first respondent (AM:PM Organics Ltd) was the claimant's sole employer throughout, on the basis of the contract of employment, a written warranty by the second respondent, payslips to November 2024 and other contemporaneous documents. Claims against the second and third respondents were dismissed.
The first respondent had failed to pay the claimant's wages from 1 May 2023 to 8 November 2023 (a series of unauthorised deductions totalling £28,487.59 gross, inclusive of SSP); failed to pay accrued holiday on termination (£778.86); was in breach of contract by dismissing without notice (£11,250 gross damages for three months' notice); and was in breach of contract by failing to reimburse expenses of £309.60. The claimant resigned on 8 November 2023 in response to the failure to pay wages.
The total payable was £40,826.05. Pension contribution and itemised pay-statement claims were not allowed. Interest was not awarded.

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.
