Miss J Tate v Qarbon Capital Limited HELD AT: Newcastle — 2025

Miss J Tate brought claims against Qarbon Capital Limited for statutory redundancy pay, unpaid statutory notice pay, unlawful deductions from wages, accrued but untaken holiday pay, and breach of contract in respect of unpaid expenses. Employment Judge Moss heard the case in Newcastle on 27 January 2025. The respondent did not appear. The judgment records that the claim for statutory redundancy pay was well founded and that the tribunal ordered £2,880, calculated by reference to gross weekly earnings of £480 and the statutory formula set out in the reasons.

The tribunal also found the claims for unpaid statutory notice pay, unlawful deductions from wages and accrued but untaken holiday pay to be well founded. It awarded a combined net sum of £1,731.73 for those three heads of claim together, and did not allocate that figure between the individual claims. The judgment says the sums were not in dispute and were supported by documentary evidence, but that separating the amounts between the heads of claim was complicated because the respondent had already paid £635.31 and there was some uncertainty about the claimant's net rate of pay.

The breach of contract claim for unpaid expenses was also found well founded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £280 in respect of that claim. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.
