Mr W Lowther
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Mr W Lowther was a worker when he worked for New Age Innovation Ltd T/A Pure Energy, within the meaning of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. That status finding underpinned the tribunal's consideration of the wage and holiday claims.
It held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages in June 2024 in the gross sum of £3,274 and ordered the respondent to pay that amount to the claimant. The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant his holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,009.
The tribunal further found that the respondent failed to provide the claimant with a statement of terms and conditions as required by section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. Because there had been a complete failure to provide the section 1 statement, the tribunal applied section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 and awarded the higher amount claimed, £1,800. The total award recorded by the judgment is £6,083.

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.
