Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's complaint that the employer had failed to pay deductions or that unauthorised deductions had been made. The reason given was procedural: after a preliminary hearing on 16 April 2020, the claimant was ordered to pay a deposit of £250, and the order was sent to him on 20 May 2020, but he did not pay it.
Because the deposit was not paid, the tribunal said the complaint was struck out under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The hearing listed for 9 September 2020 was therefore cancelled and did not take place. No substantive findings on the underlying wage issue or any monetary award were made.

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.
