Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 22 judgment given by Employment Judge McAvoy Newns in chambers. The tribunal said there was sufficient material on the file, including the Claimant’s email dated 23 February 2025, and noted that no response had been presented by the Respondent and no application for permission to extend time had been made. The tribunal also found that the claim had been presented in time.
The Claimant’s complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages succeeded. The tribunal found that the Respondent had failed to pay the Claimant the gross sum of £3,555 and ordered the Respondent to pay that sum to the Claimant. The judgment states that the Claimant is required to account for any income tax and/or national insurance contributions due on the sum.

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.
