Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a CVP hearing on 20 July 2023, Employment Judge Martin found that DC Academy Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from Mr Stephen Cooper's wages. The tribunal recorded that the total of the unauthorised deductions was £1,760 and ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant.
The judgment also records that the £1,760 figure was agreed by the parties at the hearing. The award was expressed as a gross figure, with the usual instruction that payment net of income tax and National Insurance deductions would discharge the judgment if those deductions were properly accounted for to the statutory authorities. The respondent was also directed to set out the deductions made and send this to the claimant.

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.
