Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat by CVP on 19 and 20 November 2025 before Employment Judge L Doherty. The respondent, Herd Cleaning Services Ltd, was not present and was not represented. The written judgment records that reasons were given orally.
Mr S Wakely’s unfair dismissal claim succeeded, and the tribunal awarded him £1,792. The written extract does not split that sum into basic and compensatory components, so only the overall award is recorded in the judgment text.
The tribunal also upheld a claim for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and awarded £722.79. It further upheld a claim under section 14 of the Working Time Regulations 1998 for holiday leave accrued but not taken on termination of employment, awarding £300. The total monetary award recorded by the judgment is £2,814.79.

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.
