Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Sheffield on 14 October 2019, Employment Judge Rostant, sitting alone, heard the claimant in person and recorded no appearance for the respondent. The tribunal dealt with two matters: unauthorised deductions from wages and a breach of s.8 Employment Act 1996 concerning itemised payslips.
The tribunal upheld the unauthorised deductions claim and ordered the respondent, Mr R Ali t/a Papa John’s Pizza, to pay the claimant £566 gross. It also upheld the s.8 Employment Act 1996 itemised payslip complaint, but expressly made no award on that issue because no deductions of any sort had been made. The only monetary award recorded in the judgment was £566 gross.

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.
