Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Employment Judge Shepherd, sitting alone in a CVP video hearing at which the respondent did not appear, gave a joint judgment in respect of two linked claims (Ms E Harper / 1806680/2025 and Ms G Mander / 1806681/2025) against The Potting Shed Limited.

For this case (Ms Harper, 1806680/2025) the tribunal found the unauthorised deduction from wages claim well founded and ordered the respondent to pay £539.84, together with a further award of £421.28 (four weeks' gross pay) under s.38 Employment Act 2002 for failure to provide written terms and conditions of employment, making a total of £961.12.

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.
