Mr S Law v Scotia Hotels Limited — 2026

Mr Law said that Scotia Hotels Limited had provided his pay statements late and only after he followed the matter up. He accepted that he had since received further copies, so the tribunal held that his section 11 Employment Rights Act 1996 claim was moot and struck it out under rule 38 as having no reasonable prospect of success.

The tribunal permitted Mr Law's section 8 claim to proceed because there was a factual dispute requiring evidence: he asserted that pay statements were not provided at the time of payment and that he was unaware they were available at the respondent's premises, while the respondent asserted that they had been made available there. The tribunal recorded that the only remedy available for this claim would be a declaration, not compensation, but made no determination on its merits.

The tribunal also struck out the section 1 written-particulars claim. It found that such a claim could result in a remedy only if another relevant claim succeeded, and that claims under sections 8 and 11 were not relevant claims because section 8 was not included in Schedule 5 to the Employment Act 2002. No monetary award or other remedy was made at this preliminary stage.
