Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn this remote hearing on 22 September 2023, Employment Judge Edmonds dismissed the claimant's complaint of unlawful deduction from wages. The Tribunal held that the respondent was entitled to deduct the full amount of holiday pay owed to Mrs J Somerville because that deduction was authorised by her contract of employment.
The Tribunal made no finding about any other payments said to be owed by the claimant, or about whether her new employer had verbally agreed to cover the costs of those payments, because those matters were not necessary to decide the claim before it.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
