Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge T. Vincent Ryan determined the case under Rule 21 without a hearing. The tribunal found that Starlight Events South Wales Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from Mr R.D. Skitt's wages and ordered the respondent to pay £786, subject to the usual statutory deductions.
The tribunal also found that, because the claimant had lodged a grievance, the respondent failed to follow an applicable statutory code in relation to that grievance. For that failure it ordered an additional £196.50, described as 25% of the above award. The claim succeeded and any listed hearing was cancelled, making the total monetary award £982.50 before any deductions on the wage element.

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.
