The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. _____________________________ Employment Judge Heap 24th September 2019____________ Case Number 2601924/2019 1 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Mr K Thorpe Respondent: Mr Shaun Kent t/as Ocean One[1]The claim for holiday pay is well-founded and succeeds.
