Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard remotely by video at London Central Employment Tribunal on 10 December 2020 before Employment Judge Hopton. The respondent did not attend, had not served a response, and there was no bundle of documents or witness statements. Mr Omar was assisted at times by Mr Ali, who explained that he was from a Somalian charity. The tribunal noted that the only claim pursued at the hearing was the unlawful deductions from wages claim.
Claim number 2203930/20 was withdrawn by the claimant and dismissed. The judgment does not state the substantive type of that claim, only that it had been made against Buddha-Bar Restaurant and was no longer being pursued.
On the unlawful deduction from wages claim, the tribunal found that UKRO Ltd was the correct respondent and that the claim was presented in time because the last deduction had occurred on 8 October 2020. It accepted that the claimant was paid £763.22 net per fortnight, equal to £1,653.64 per month, and that 80% of that figure was £1,322.91. The tribunal found deductions from wages of £742.07 in April 2020, £757.07 in each of May, June and July 2020, £1,322.91 in each of August, September, October and November 2020, and £661.46 in December 2020.
Those deductions totalled £8,966.38 net, and the tribunal ordered UKRO Ltd to pay that sum to the claimant as the total amount of payments due to him.

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.
