Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mrs K O’Brien's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against Mitchells and Butlers Retail Limited was heard at Liverpool on 30 March 2022 before Employment Judge Liz Ord, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by a solicitor. The tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages from 14 October 2020 was not well-founded and failed.

The written record also contains a second finding about the period before 14 October 2020, but the sentence is internally inconsistent in the extracted text because it says the tribunal 'does have jurisdiction' to hear that complaint while also saying it was 'out of time'. No monetary award is recorded in the judgment.

Claims and outcomes

1 finding recorded

Claim type	Issue or finding	Outcome	Protected characteristic	Award
Unlawful deduction from wages	The tribunal held that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages from 14 October 2020 was not well-founded and failed. The second numbered paragraph says the tribunal 'does have jurisdiction' to hear the complaint for the period before 14 October 2020 'as it is out of time'; that wording is internally inconsistent in the extracted text, so the disposition of the earlier period is recorded conservatively.

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.
