Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs P Arora brought claims against Sonya Brown Textiles heard at London Central via CVP on 17 January 2023 before Employment Judge S Connolly. The tribunal upheld her claim for unlawful deduction from wages for the period from 16 April 2022 to 25 May 2022 and ordered the respondent to pay £2,240, described as the total gross sum deducted. The tribunal recorded that the respondent could make deductions for tax and National Insurance from that amount.
The tribunal also made an award under section 38 of the Employment Act 2002 because the respondent failed to provide a statement of employment particulars as required by section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The award was two weeks' gross pay, assessed at £800. No separate award for interest, injury to feelings, or other compensation was recorded in the judgment. The total monetary award recorded by the tribunal was £3,040.

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.
