Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Street heard the case at Southampton by VHS on 30 June 2023, with both parties appearing in person. The written judgment records that the claims in respect of unlawful deduction from earnings and breach of contract succeeded.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £2,000 in respect of those two successful claims together. The judgment does not split that sum between unlawful deduction from earnings and breach of contract, and it does not set out further factual findings in the written record.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to provide a written statement of terms and conditions and made an award of £2,000 pursuant to section 38 of the Employment Act 2002. The total sum ordered was £4,000.

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.
