Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by Employment Judge Smailes sitting alone at London Central on 16 September 2021. The Tribunal recorded that the correct name of the Respondent was RCJ Staffing UK Ltd.
The Claimant's complaint was for unlawful deduction from wages. The Tribunal found that the complaint had been issued outside the statutory time limit under s.23 Employment Rights Act 1996 and that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been issued in time.
On that basis, the Tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it. No remedy was awarded.

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.
