Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal entered judgment under Rule 21 and found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr Townsend's wages in respect of 17 days between 1 and 23 October 2019. It ordered the respondent to pay him the gross sum of £1,702.65, subject to the usual statutory deductions.
The tribunal dismissed Mr Townsend's claim for damages for distress caused by the deductions because it did not have jurisdiction to deal with such a claim in relation to deductions from wages. It also dismissed his claim for compensation for financial loss said to be attributable to the deductions, because there was no evidence that interest had been charged and paid in respect of the loans referred to in his submissions.

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.
