Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Liz Ord, sitting alone at Croydon by CVP on 10 July 2024, found that FMS Projects Limited had made unauthorised deductions from Lee Gearing’s wages. The tribunal held that the respondent had failed to pay salary for the period from 1 to 21 April 2023 and ordered repayment of the gross sum of £3,750, subject to tax and national insurance.
The tribunal also held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction in relation to 5 days’ accrued holiday pay. It ordered payment of the gross sum of £1,250, again subject to tax and national insurance. The judgment records no separate award under any other head and no findings on any discrimination, dismissal, or breach of contract claim.

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.
