Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, acting under Rule 21, found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. It ordered R & M Consultancy Limited to pay Mr J Smethurst the net sum of £761.54.
The judgment does not break the award down into separate components. It records the sum as a net payment for the unlawful deduction from wages claim only.
The document also includes the standard Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 notice, stating that interest would be payable if the sum was not paid in full within 14 days of the decision being sent, with interest running from 29 September 2023 at 8% per annum.

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.
