Ms S Hoque v David Wood Bakery Ltd: 1300327/2024
JUDGMENT
On hearing the Claimant’s son Mr. Haque as a lay representative and Mr. T Langley (Counsel) for the Respondent:[1]The Respondent’s application to strike out the claim under Regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998, that insufficient notice was provided under Regulation 15 before annual leave was instructed to be taken, is granted. The Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear that complaint and it is therefore struck out.[2]The Respondent’s application to strike out or in the alternative order a deposit for the unlawful deductions of wages claim brought by the Claimant is refused. There are legal and factual issues that are not straightforward and a trial is needed to hear the evidence.[3]The case will now be listed for the earliest trial date with associated case management orders.
