Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs A Romero brought a claim for unlawful deduction from wages against Yummy Licks Limited. The respondent accepted that it had unlawfully deducted £625.50 gross from the claimant's wages in contravention of section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal therefore ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant and to account to HMRC for any tax and National Insurance due.
The respondent also advanced a counterclaim for breach of contract based on alleged failure to give the required notice. The tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear and determine that counterclaim under section 4 of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994 because the claimant had not brought a breach of contract claim. The judgment was given orally at the hearing and recorded in writing on 10 December 2020.

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.
