Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant, Mr Vivek Bhusal, brought a breach of contract claim against L40 Kitchens Limited (trading as Bindas Eatery) for failing to pay wages in respect of annual leave taken. The matter was heard on 23 August 2024 by Employment Judge G Smart sitting alone by video. The Claimant attended in person; the Respondent did not attend and the claim was uncontested.
The Tribunal found that under the contract of employment the Claimant was entitled to payment for 17 days of annual leave taken, calculated at 7.5 hours per working day (127.5 hours), less 45 hours already paid, at a rate of £14 per hour. This produced a gross sum of £1,155. The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant £1,155, less any usual deductions at source, with the Claimant agreeing to account to HMRC for any tax due if the gross figure was paid.

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.
