Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Soloman Bosa, brought complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages against Bauporte Doors UK Limited and Moport Limited. The hearing took place by CVP on 6 June 2025 before Employment Judge K Loraine, with the claimant appearing in person and no attendance by either respondent.
The tribunal dismissed the complaint against the First Respondent as not well-founded. It upheld the complaint against the Second Respondent. The judgment records that the Second Respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages between July 2022 and June 2024, including non-payment of employer pension contributions and deductions of employee pension contributions amounting to £5,919.81.
The tribunal also found unauthorised deductions from the claimant's June 2024 pay totalling £3,026.06, broken down as £82.65 for hours not worked, £1,600 for van expenses, £41.41 for a speeding ticket, £1,152 for searching for the van, and £150 for travel costs. The tribunal ordered the Second Respondent to pay £8,945.88, described in the judgment as the gross sum deducted, and recorded that the claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance as appropriate.

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.
