Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Duff, sitting alone at London Central by CVP on 2 April 2025, found that Mr M Yaakoubi was a worker of e-cargobikes.com Ltd within the meaning of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal then considered the claimant's money claims and held that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well-founded.
The separate complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay succeeded. The tribunal awarded the claimant £246.71 as damages for breach of contract. The judgment states that this figure was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.

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.
