Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that Complex Logistics Ltd had made unlawful deductions from Mr D Carpenter’s wages and ordered the respondent to pay him £10,431.03 gross in respect of those deductions. The case was heard in public by video at Birmingham Employment Tribunal on 18 September 2023 before Employment Judge Klimov, with Mr Carpenter appearing in person and the respondent represented by Mr M Hitchins, HR Consultant.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had unreasonably failed to comply with the Acas Code of Practice on Disciplinary and Grievance Procedures. On that basis it increased the award by 25%, producing an additional sum of £2,607.76 and a total gross award of £13,038.79. The judgment stated that the total is payable less deductions for tax and National Insurance, which the respondent must account for to HMRC.

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.
