Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Watford on 26 February 2021, Employment Judge Heal heard Mrs S Shanker’s claim against Mrs M Lakhani trading as Laxmisai Ltd. The tribunal upheld the breach of contract claim and ordered the respondent to pay £85.18 as compensation.
The tribunal also increased the award by £270 under section 38(3) of the Employment Act 2002 because the respondent had not provided the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. The total award was therefore £355.18. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and no written reasons were to be provided unless requested.

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.
