Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Wright determined this matter at London South (Croydon via CVP) on 16 January 2026. The claimant Mr P Kuzickins appeared in person; the respondent (Scaleup Merchant Consulting Limited t/a Scaleup) was represented by Mr C Firmin, Litigation Consultant. The respondent's response had been rejected and rule 22(3) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 applied.
The Tribunal found the claimant's claims for unauthorised deductions from wages, holiday pay and unlawful discrimination contrary to the Equality Act 2010 were well-founded and succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay seven days' holiday pay at £135 gross per day (£945), three months' salary of £2,917 gross less £1,250 paid on account (£7,501 gross), and £2,000 for injury to feelings.
The total sum due was £10,446 gross. Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons were not provided; the protected characteristic underpinning the discrimination finding is not specified in the written judgment.

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.
