Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined the case under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the respondent did not present a valid response on time. On that basis, Employment Judge Cookson decided that the claim, or part of it, could properly be determined without a response from the respondent.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. It ordered the respondent, Luke Foster, to pay the claimant, Mr K Chatburn, the gross sum of £311.40.
The written judgment was sent to the parties on 6 June 2022. The accompanying interest notice explained that sums payable under the judgment would carry interest if unpaid after 14 days, but no separate interest amount was quantified in the judgment itself.

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.
