Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Asda Stores Limited did not make an unauthorised deduction from Mr Ishrat's wages by failing to pay him for untaken annual leave at the end of his holiday year. It also held that it had no jurisdiction to consider a damages claim based on an alleged contractual breach in not carrying annual leave from one holiday year to the next.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages: £789.60 from holiday pay on the March 2024 pay date, £14.70 from holiday pay on the April 2024 pay date, and £552.72 from wages to recover an interim payment.
No order for payment of the deducted wages was made under section 25(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 because those sums had already been paid to the claimant. The tribunal also made no award for financial losses because the claimant indicated he was not claiming such losses.

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.
