Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal upheld all three claims for unlawful deduction from wages brought by Ms A Robinette, Ms J Hyland and Ms K Taylor against Birkdale Spa Lounge Limited. The judgment states that each claimant had suffered a deduction from wages at the rate of 80% of normal wage during the relevant period.
For the first claimant, the unlawful deduction was found to run from 24 March 2020 to 21 July 2020, and the tribunal ordered payment of a gross sum of £1,476.68. For the second claimant, the unlawful deduction was found to run from 24 March 2020 to 9 July 2020, and the tribunal ordered payment of a gross sum of £3,955.89. For the third claimant, the unlawful deduction was found to run from 24 March 2020 to 21 July 2020, and the tribunal ordered payment of a gross sum of £1,521.81.
The written record says the reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing, so no fuller written reasons are provided in the document. The accompanying notice states that, under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, qualifying sums may carry interest if unpaid after the calculation day; it records a relevant judgment day of 9 March 2021, a calculation day of 10 March 2021 and a stipulated rate of interest of 8%. No separate interest figure is set out 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.
