Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr D Ligue brought a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against Duck & Champagne Limited. The tribunal held that the claim was accepted out of time because it was not reasonably practicable to present it within the statutory time limit.
The tribunal found the complaint well-founded and concluded that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period 27 January 2023 to 31 March 2023. It ordered Duck & Champagne Limited to pay the claimant £2,920.77, described as the gross sum deducted, and stated that the claimant was responsible for any tax or National Insurance due on that sum.

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.
