Employment Judge Hutchinson, sitting alone at Nottingham on 11 August 2023, heard the claim of Mr T Lynch against Mr N A Constantino trading as Sea & Earth Chip Shop. The respondent did not appear. The judge amended the respondent's name to Mr Nikolas Alex Constantinou trading as Sea and Earth Chip Shop and recorded that the claims of age discrimination and sex discrimination were withdrawn and dismissed.

The tribunal found that the claimant had suffered an unlawful deduction of wages and ordered the respondent to pay £576.80 gross. It further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,064, and that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice, ordering compensation of £190. The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to provide a statement of terms and conditions of employment contrary to section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and ordered payment of £380.

The total sum of compensation payable by the respondent to the claimant was recorded as £2,210.80. Written reasons were not provided, as reasons were given orally at the hearing and no qualifying request was noted.
