Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Sheffield on 22, 23, 24, 25, 29 and 30 March 2021 before Employment Judge Lancaster sitting with lay members Mr D Crowe and Mr K Smith, the tribunal found that Cygnet NW Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr Ginn's wages. The upheld deduction related to three days' full salary owing between 28 and 31 January 2019 inclusive, together with any further contractual entitlements to payment of wages accruing in that period.
The tribunal dismissed the remaining claims in full, including unfair dismissal, automatically unfair dismissal and detriment complaints linked to a protected qualifying disclosure, victimisation, further deductions from wages, and failure to pay accrued holiday pay. Remedy was adjourned to a later date if not agreed, so this written record contains no monetary award.

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.
