Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claims against the first respondent were dismissed upon withdrawal by the claimant. The tribunal found that the second respondent made an unauthorised deduction of £500 from the claimant's wages for November 2023, and that the unlawful deduction from wages claim was well founded.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was unfairly dismissed by the second respondent. It directed that unfair dismissal compensation would be subject to a 25% reduction to the basic award for contributory conduct, a 60% Polkey reduction for losses after 20 December 2023, a 17.5% uplift for unreasonable failure to follow the ACAS Code, and a 25% reduction to any compensatory award for contributory conduct.
A remedies hearing was to be listed to determine all issues of remedy relating to the successful claims.

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.
