Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Liverpool on 21 January 2020 dismissed Mr T. Evered’s claim that Mr C. Douglas had made unauthorised deductions from wages. Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan recorded that the claimant had failed to enter early conciliation with the respondent and had never been employed by him.
The tribunal’s reasoning was that the claimant had only been employed by a company in which he was a director, so Mr Douglas was not an 'employer' for the purposes of the claim under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the claim failed and was dismissed. No monetary award was made.

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.
