Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claims were determined under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present valid responses on time and did not attend the hearing. Employment Judge Batten, sitting alone in Manchester on 8 February 2023, decided that a determination could properly be made on the papers in accordance with the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal found that Isaac Knights Recruitment Limited had made unauthorised deductions from the claimants' wages in respect of a month's pay. It therefore upheld the claims and ordered gross payments to each claimant: Mrs L Langley-Parker £2,500.00, Mrs M Looby £2,083.33, and Miss C Barros £1,833.33. The notice accompanying the judgment states that interest may become payable if the sums are not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day.

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.
