Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis decision concerns only jurisdiction over Mr L Nolan's unauthorised deduction of wages claim against Harrison's of Beverley Ltd. Employment Judge Tegerdine sat in Leeds by CVP on 14 July 2023. The respondent did not appear, and the judgment records no substantive finding on the amount or merits of any wage deduction claim.
The tribunal found that the claimant started Acas early conciliation within three months of the act complained of, but that it was not reasonably practicable for him to submit the claim within the statutory time limit in section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, as extended by Acas early conciliation. It also found that it would have been reasonable for him to submit the claim 17 days after that time limit, and that the claim was in fact submitted 17 days late.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it had jurisdiction to consider the claim. The decision states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
