Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr C Lewis, brought a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against LFS Recruitment Ltd. The respondent did not attend the hearing, which was held at Cardiff by CVP on 10 April 2024 before Employment Judge Brace.
The tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. It held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period October to November 2023.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay Mr Lewis £692.50, described as the gross sum deducted. The judgment records that the claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance due on that sum. Written reasons were not provided because reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written request was made.

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.
