Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Clarke brought claims against Neil Leeson Carpentry Ltd for sums due, unlawful deduction of wages, and holiday pay. By consent, the respondent agreed to pay £374, subject to statutory deductions, in respect of sums due for the period 1 to 8 March 2019.
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully deducted pay contrary to s13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in relation to 17 hours in January 2019. It also found a breach of regulation 16 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 because holiday pay had not been paid for 12.6 days at a day rate of £68.
The judgment recorded £136 for the unlawful deduction claim and stated £858.8 for the holiday pay claim, then recorded a total of £1,366.80 less statutory deductions. The extracted figures for the holiday pay line and the total do not fully align, so the holiday pay amount is recorded as stated in the judgment text and noted as potentially inconsistent with the total.

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.
