Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt Birmingham on 1 July 2025, Employment Judge Edmonds upheld Mr M Lain's complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay. The tribunal found that the respondent owed damages of £2,314.75, calculated on the basis of one month's pay of £3,541.67 less two days' notice already paid and less a £900 rebate the respondent was entitled to deduct. The tribunal said the figure was calculated using gross pay because it was Post Employment Notice Pay.
The tribunal also upheld the complaint in relation to holiday pay. It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages by failing to pay him for five days' holiday accrued but not taken when his employment ended. It awarded £817.30, being five days at £163.46 per day, again on a gross basis because tax would need to be paid on it.
The judgment recorded that the respondent would be entitled to deduct tax and national insurance from the sums awarded so that the claimant receives the net value of the payments. No other claims or remedies were recorded in the decision, so the total award was £3,132.05.

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.
