Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment was issued under Rule 21. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant 319.85 net.
The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice. It ordered the respondent to pay damages in the sum of 328.40 net, stated to be one week's net pay.
The notice attached to the judgment records the statutory interest arrangements if the judgment sum is not paid within 14 days, including a stipulated rate of 8%, but it does not award a quantified interest sum.

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.
