Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Watford Employment Tribunal on 2, 3 and 4 June 2021 before Employment Judge Quill sitting with Mr N Boustred and Mr R Alldritt. The claimant, Ms M Matthews, appeared in person and the respondent was represented by its director, Mr J Gill.
The tribunal held that the complaints of breach of contract, unauthorised deduction from wages and holiday pay were brought outside the relevant time limits, so the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to determine them. The judgment does not record any monetary award for those complaints.
On the Equality Act 2010 complaints, the tribunal found that the respondent had not contravened the Act in relation to direct discrimination because of age, harassment related to age, or harassment related to religion or religious belief. The written record notes that reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
