Mr Thomas Shorey
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Grubb, sitting alone in Cardiff, found the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint well-founded. The judgment states that the respondent unfairly dismissed Mr Thomas Shorey contrary to section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal held that the claimant's period of loss for compensation was limited to 2 weeks under Polkey v A E Dayton Services.
The tribunal also found the complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages well-founded under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It ordered the respondent to pay £5,000 gross on account of non-payment of the claimant's car allowance, subject to deductions for income tax and national insurance, and £15,000 on account of deductions made from his notice pay in respect of loan repayments.
The judgment records an agreed sum of £1,948.66 as compensation for unfair dismissal. On the face of the judgment, the monetary outcome comprised that unfair dismissal compensation plus the two wages deductions awards, giving a total of £21,948.66.

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.
