Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in favour of Mr M Blackburn against Alternative Drainage. The tribunal recorded that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum of £380. The judgment also recorded that the claimant incurred extra expense as a consequence of the respondent's default and ordered payment of £200 for that item.
The judgment does not set out a fuller factual narrative or discuss liability beyond those findings. It simply records the two sums awarded and states that the hearing listed for 23 April was cancelled. The total monetary award on the face of the judgment is £580.

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.
