Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Leeds by CVP on 14 February 2023 before Employment Judge Lancaster, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Ms M Akbar of Peninsula. The sole claim addressed in the judgment was for unauthorised deductions from wages.
The tribunal found that the claimant had been properly paid for all work done and holidays up to 11 September 2022. It then found that between 11 September 2022 and the date of termination on 25 October 2022 he was not insured to drive for the respondent, although he held a valid DVLA permission to do so.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that he was not properly entitled to be paid for that later period. The claim for unauthorised deductions from wages was therefore dismissed. No monetary award was made.

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.
