Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at London South by video on 16 May 2024 before Employment Judge C H O’Rourke. The First and Second Claimants appeared in person. The Third Claimant did not attend, and the Respondent was neither present nor represented.
The tribunal upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claims brought by Mr Taras Blagun and Mr Nicolai Blagun. It found that the Respondent, Mr Stephen Matthew Gibson t/a EA Services, had made unlawful deductions from the First Claimant’s wages in the sum of £1,700 and from the Second Claimant’s wages in the sum of £2,000. The Respondent was ordered to pay those amounts to the respective claimants.
The Third Claimant’s claim was dismissed because he did not attend the hearing. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
