Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Childe heard the case at Manchester by CVP on 20 November 2024. The claimant was present in person and the respondent did not attend. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.
The tribunal upheld the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages. It found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages due in December 2023, described in the judgment as occurring in April 2023, and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £2,135.60, being the gross sum deducted.
The tribunal also upheld the unfair dismissal complaint, finding that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The written judgment does not record any separate monetary award for the unfair dismissal finding.
The complaint of direct race discrimination also succeeded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £5,000 compensation for injury to feelings. The aggregate sums recorded in the judgment are therefore £2,135.60 for wages and £5,000 for injury to feelings, with the tribunal notice stating that interest would run from 30 November 2024 if the sums were not paid within 14 days.

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.
