Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Judge determined the claim under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the respondents failed to present a valid response on time. On that basis, the tribunal proceeded to determine the claim from the papers.
The tribunal found that the respondents had made unauthorised deductions from Mr McBride's wages. It ordered David Straw and Joe Straw trading as Lindow Lawn Turf to pay him the gross sum of £555.00.
The judgment also contains the standard interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990. It states that if the award is not paid in full within 14 days after the relevant decision day, interest is payable from 12 October 2024 at 8% per annum; the relevant decision day is identified as 11 October 2024.

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.
