Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction from wages. The tribunal held that liability for that claim did not transfer from EEM Holdings Limited to P J Harlow Limited because the claimant was not employed by the first respondent immediately before the transfer of its business to the second respondent and was not dismissed for a reason related to the transfer.
The tribunal also recorded that P J Harlow Limited had been dissolved and did not currently exist as a legal entity. On that basis, the claimant's claims were dismissed.

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.
