Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the North East Region Employment Tribunals on 12 and 22 May 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, having received additional information from the claimant, and made a determination on the papers.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from Mr R Lawal’s wages. The judgment records that the respondent must pay the claimant £684 gross. No separate breakdown of the award is given in the judgment.

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.
