Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Manchester by CVP on 13 January 2025 before Judge Cowx sitting alone. The claimant, Mrs Parulben Lumbhani, did not attend, and the respondent also did not attend. The judgment records that the claimant's claims of breach of contract and unlawful deduction from wages were dismissed under Rule 47 of the Tribunal Rules because of the claimant's non-attendance.
The breach of contract claim was pleaded as allegations of failing to make a full payment in lieu of notice, failing to pay wages, and failing to pay holiday pay. No written reasons were provided beyond the short oral reasons given at the hearing, and no remedy was awarded.

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.
