Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 Employment Tribunal judgment in which Mr M Smith's claim against The Irwell Food Company Limited succeeded on an unlawful deduction from wages basis. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the net sum of £1,019.
The written judgment does not set out further factual findings or legal reasoning beyond the unauthorised deduction finding. It also records that the hearing listed for 13 May 2020 was cancelled. The accompanying interest notice states that any unpaid sum would carry interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 after the relevant decision day of 7 April 2020, but no separate interest amount is stated in the judgment text provided.

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.
