Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat in chambers at Plymouth on 2 December 2019 under Rule 21 because the time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented by Macfarlane Foods Limited. It recorded that Mrs Sheena Matthews's claim for unlawful deduction from wages succeeds.
The judgment did not fix the monetary remedy. It stated that the appropriate remedy would be determined at a later hearing, and that notification details would be sent in due course.

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.
