Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claimant's complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages in respect of deductions in August 2016 and July 2018 because both complaints were presented out of time and it would have been reasonably practicable to present them in time. The third deduction complained of had already been reimbursed, so there was no need for adjudication on that matter.
On the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal found for the claimant and awarded a basic award of £281.88 and a compensatory award of £2,794.47. The compensatory award comprised £300 for loss of statutory rights, £1,879.20 for 20 weeks' loss of earnings, and a 25% uplift of £615.27 under section 207A of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992. It also made a separate award of £375.84 under Employment Act 2002 section 38 because no statement of main terms and conditions of employment had been issued, bringing the total payable to £3,452.19.

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.
