Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Rhys Griffiths brought claims against The Basketball League Limited for unfair dismissal, redundancy, notice pay, wages and holiday pay. The hearing took place at London Central by CVP on 14 November 2024 before Employment Judge Duff. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal and redundancy claims because the claimant had not been employed by the respondent for the requisite two years before dismissal.
The tribunal upheld the notice pay complaint as a breach of contract claim and awarded £5,583.33 in gross damages. The judgment states that this figure was calculated using gross pay because of the likelihood that the amount would be treated as Post Employment Notice Pay and subject to tax.
The tribunal also upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages for the period 26 June 2024 to 19 July 2024 and ordered payment of £5,153.85, being the gross sum deducted. In addition, it upheld the holiday pay complaint, finding an unauthorised deduction from wages arising from the failure to pay the claimant for 9 days of holiday accrued but untaken at the date employment ended, and awarded £2,319.21. The total sum ordered was £13,056.39 within 28 days of the order being sent to the parties.

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.
