Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Harrington sat with Mr S Corkerton and Mr C Rogers. The written judgment records that the complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that Mr D Osoja was unfairly dismissed. It does not set out the detailed reasoning in writing, noting instead that reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The tribunal also upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages. It found an unauthorised deduction in the period 23 July 2020 to 20 August 2020 and ordered Hy-ten Reinforcement Limited to pay £735.00, described as the gross sum deducted. The claimant was stated to be responsible for any tax or national insurance on that sum.
The claims for breach of contract, race discrimination, and a claim pursuant to Schedule 5 of the Employment Act 2002 were found not well founded and were dismissed. No separate monetary award is recorded in the written judgment for the unfair dismissal finding, so the only stated payment in this record is the £735 wage deduction award.

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.
