Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Gardiner sat alone at East London Hearing Centre by Cloud Video Platform on 27 May 2025. The respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that Miss R Begum was an employee of AA Estate London Limited and was therefore entitled to receive at least the National Minimum Wage.
On the claimant's wages claim, the tribunal found that she was contractually entitled to be paid for 16 hours' work each week over a period of 10 weeks from 17 July 2024 to 25 September 2024, and that during that period she either worked for the respondent or was ready, willing and able to work. Applying an hourly rate of £11.44, it found that £1,830.40 gross was owed by way of unauthorised deduction of wages under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal also accepted the respondent's Employer's Contract Claim in the amount of £842.40. That sum was calculated by taking the loan of £1,500, deducting £200 already repaid and deducting £457.60 for overtime worked, leaving the net amount recoverable from the claimant. After offsetting the two sums, the balance owing to the claimant was £988.

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.
