Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss L Hobson brought a claim against Oriental Group Company Ltd for unlawful deduction of wages. The case was heard on 9 December 2024 before Employment Judge Fearon, with the claimant in person and the respondent represented by Xiyuan Hu. The judgment was sent to the parties on 13 December 2024.
The tribunal decided the claim was out of time. It found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant’s unlawful deduction of wages claim to have been brought within the required time period, and that it had not in fact been brought within that period.
On that basis, the unlawful deduction of wages claim was dismissed. No monetary award was 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.
