EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS(SCOTLAND) Case No: 4110818/2021 James Caven

Respondent

Mabie House Hotel

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

James Caven brought claims against Mabie House Hotel. No response had been presented, so Employment Judge Laura Doherty issued a rule 21 judgment on the available material. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £4,680. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £350.

The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim also succeeded. The judgment ordered the respondent to pay a further £8,800 as a monetary sum for that claim, but it did not set out a separate basic award or compensatory award breakdown. The written judgment was dated 22 November 2021 and entered in the register on 24 November 2021.

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.
