Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld L Buswell's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against The Crafted Experience Ltd for the period 1 September 2025 to 28 October 2025. The claims were presented in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 13 November 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and an Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The respondent was ordered to pay £694.99 gross, representing £894.99 less £200 already paid. The claimant was responsible for any tax or National Insurance not deducted by the respondent.
The accompanying interest notice specified a rate of 8% per annum and a calculation day of 22 August 2026. It stated that no interest would be payable if the award was paid in full within 14 days after the judgment was sent to the parties on 21 August 2026. No monetary amount of interest was specified.

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.
