Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the South Employment Tribunal on 8 August 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge French determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The Tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages (£28.80 gross) and had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement (£42.74). The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £71.54 in total. The judgment does not specify which of the two named respondents (OWBHOLDINGS Ltd or TBM3 Ltd) is liable; the operative paragraphs refer to "the respondent" without distinction.

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.
