Facts
Jacob Ripley brought claims against his former employer Elite EMS Ltd for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay. The hearing was conducted by video at Watford Employment Tribunal. Mr Ripley represented himself while the respondent was represented by a litigation consultant, Mr Tudor.
Decision
Employment Judge Taft dismissed both claims, finding that neither the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages nor the complaint in respect of holiday pay were well-founded. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
This case resulted in a complete loss for an unrepresented claimant bringing wage and holiday pay claims, highlighting the challenges self-represented claimants face in proving employment payment disputes.
