Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Birchall, pursued a claim against Woolston Commercials Ltd for unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent did not attend the hearing, which took place by CVP at Manchester on 15 October 2021 before Employment Judge Dunlop.
The tribunal upheld the claim and found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages. It ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the gross sum of £11,994.70.
The written record also included the standard tribunal interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that interest would apply if the award was not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day. No separate interest figure was calculated 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.
