Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting at Reading before Employment Judge Shastri-Hurst on 15 and 20 January 2026, considered four claims brought by Mrs L Maritz against Arbour Landscape Solutions Ltd. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Mr O'Keefe of counsel.
The Tribunal struck out the redundancy payment claim on the basis that it did not have jurisdiction to hear it. The breach of contract claim concerning notice pay and the unauthorised deduction of wages claim concerning commission were each found not to be well-founded and were dismissed.
The unauthorised deduction of wages claim concerning car allowance was well-founded and succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £5,498.61 gross in respect of that claim. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons were not provided with the judgment.

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.
