Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 4 February 2025. The respondent, Gloucester Garden Design Co Limited, failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages. It ordered the respondent to pay Mr J E Harding £700 gross, and the judgment records that the respondent must pay him £700 in total.

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.
