Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge decided the claim could properly be determined under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. On that basis, the tribunal determined the claim without a contested hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for the period 1 January 2022 to 1 May 2022 and ordered payment of the gross sum of £4,471. It also found a further unauthorised deduction from wages for 9 May 2022 to 22 May 2022 and ordered payment of £1,985 gross.
The tribunal further found that the respondent was in breach of contract by failing to reimburse petrol expenses incurred by the claimant and ordered payment of £1,331.20. It also found a breach of the loan agreement between the parties and ordered repayment of £5,000, together with £420 in respect of consequential financial losses.
The total sum ordered was £13,207.20, payable within 14 days of the judgment. The listed hearing on 13 October 2022 was cancelled.

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.
