Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Slater, sitting alone, dismissed Mr S Patel's unfair dismissal complaint as not well founded. The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was also dismissed as not well founded. The written judgment does not set out the factual or legal reasons for those conclusions; summary reasons were given orally at the hearing.
No award could be made under s.38 Employment Act 2002 because no other complaint succeeded. The tribunal added that the complaint concerning failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars would also have failed on its merits. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
