Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal unanimously found that the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages under section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded. It recorded that the deductions had been repaid, so no repayment was due to the claimant.
The Tribunal dismissed the claims of protected disclosure detriment, automatic unfair dismissal, health and safety detriment, and unfair health and safety dismissal, each on the basis that the complaint was not well founded. The written judgment states that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would only be provided if requested.

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.
