Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms K Dudko, brought a claim for unlawful deduction from wages. Employment Judge Adkin found that, for the material period of August 2022 to January 2023, she was not an employee of, or a worker engaged by, the respondent within the meaning of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the unlawful deduction from wages claim was dismissed.
The respondent's counterclaim for breach of contract was also dismissed. The tribunal found that the respondent had not discharged the burden of showing a breach of contract by the claimant, and had not shown any losses arising from the matters relied on in the counterclaim. No monetary award was made to either side.

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.
