Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, the Employment Judge determined the claim without a hearing and found that TSOM Group Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages.
The order required the respondent to pay L Olverson-Birks the gross sum of £1,633.90, identified as relating to January 2022 and February 2022. The judgment also noted that the hearing listed for 25 August 2022 was cancelled. A separate notice explained the general interest provisions applicable if the sum was not paid within 14 days after the relevant decision day, but no quantified interest award was set out in the judgment.

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.
