Claimant v Priority One IT Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant's complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was not well founded and dismissed it following a full merits hearing.
The tribunal determined that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well founded and dismissed it after hearing evidence from both parties.
The tribunal found that the separate complaint of notice pay was not well founded and dismissed it. This appears to be a duplicate or alternative formulation of the first claim.
Facts
Richard Ojok brought claims against his former employer, Priority One IT Limited, for breach of contract relating to notice pay and unauthorised deductions from wages. The claimant represented himself at a remote video hearing before Employment Judge N Wilson. The respondent was represented by Tracy Newman-Malin.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all three complaints brought by the claimant, finding that none were well founded. Reasons were given orally at the hearing. No written reasons were requested at the hearing, though parties were given 14 days to request them.
Practical note
Without written reasons, this judgment provides limited precedential value but demonstrates that claims for notice pay and wage deductions require sufficient evidence to establish the factual and legal basis for recovery.
