Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued a Rule 21 judgment in default because the respondent did not present a response within the relevant time limit. On that basis, it found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £284.50 gross.
The tribunal also ordered payment of £24.30 gross in respect of mileage expenses claimed but unpaid. It recorded that the claimant was responsible for any income tax and National Insurance contributions on the gross sums awarded.
The judgment stated that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to award compensation for 'stress caused'.

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.
