Mr M A S Jakir v Serenity Intergrated Care Limited and 1 other — 2025

At the final hearing on 10 March 2025 at East London Tribunal Hearing Centre, heard remotely by video, Employment Judge S Shore heard the claimant, Mr M A S Jakir, in person. There was no appearance for either respondent. The tribunal dismissed the claims against the second respondent, Pardon Tafadzra Muguwe, because claims of this kind can only be brought against an employer and the second respondent was not the claimant's employer.

The claimant's claim against Serenity Intergrated Care Limited for unauthorised deduction from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was dismissed because it was not presented within the time limit in section 23(3) when it was reasonably practicable for him to have done so. The separate claim for failure to pay holiday pay accrued but not taken was dismissed for the same reason. The claimant's application to add a breach of contract claim under Article 3 of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England & Wales) Order 1994 was refused, and the tribunal stated that if it had been allowed it would also have been dismissed as out of time.

Because all claims were dismissed, the tribunal did not need to consider remedy.
