Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Salter, sitting alone at London Central via CVP on 6 August 2024, heard the claim of Mr Ajay Pradeep Mahadeven against Avian Holdings Limited. The claimant appeared in person; the respondent did not attend and was not represented. The tribunal found that, contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the respondent had made unlawful deductions from the claimant's wages totalling £5,667.69, and ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant.
The award reflected four components: £1,153.85 in unpaid wages for the period 14 December 2023 to 2 January 2024; £2,423.08 in unpaid wages for the period 3 January 2024 to 31 January 2024; £230.76 for two days of accrued but untaken holiday in January 2024; and £1,500.00 for an unpaid bonus. The judgment was sent to the parties on 8 August 2024.
The written judgment supplied is brief and does not record detailed reasoning, named legal tests beyond the statutory reference to s.13 ERA 1996, or any panel members beyond the judge.

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.
