Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge M Butler heard the claims at Manchester Employment Tribunal on 1 September 2025. The claimant was self-representing; the first respondent (Kingston Shaw Ltd) was represented by Ms K Kingston, and the second respondent (Secretary of State for Business and Trade) did not attend. All claims brought against the second respondent were dismissed on the basis that the first respondent remained an active company.
Against the first respondent, the tribunal upheld four claims. The breach of contract/wrongful dismissal claim succeeded and the claimant was awarded the net sum of £5,577.90 (12 x £464.8246 net weekly wage). The unauthorised deductions from wages claim succeeded with a gross award of £10,000 (4 months x £2,500 gross pay). The claim for outstanding holiday pay on termination succeeded, with a gross award of £2,076.92. The claim for a redundancy payment succeeded, with an award of £10,673.08 calculated as (14 x 1 x 576.923) + (3 x 1.5 x 576.923).
Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The notice attached to the judgment records that interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 accrues from 20 September 2025 at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum if the award is not paid in full within 14 days of 19 September 2025.

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.
