Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Liverpool by video on 1 February 2024 before Employment Judge Benson. The claimant, Mr J Reeves, appeared in person. The respondent, Pearson Locke Limited t/a Broker Energy Claims, did not attend. The tribunal also recorded that the correct name of the respondent was Pearson Locke Limited t/a Broker Energy Claims.
The tribunal held that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. It found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period from 27 March 2023 to 18 April 2023. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant the gross sum of £688.88, with the claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance.
The tribunal dismissed the separate complaint of breach of contract based on an alleged failure to provide notice. The judgment states that this claim was not well founded.
The written record also included an interest notice stating that interest is payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if the award is not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day. The notice gave 8 February 2024 as the relevant decision day, 9 February 2024 as the calculation day, and 8% per annum as the stipulated rate, but it did not quantify any interest sum in the judgment itself.

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.
