Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued by Employment Judge M Butler. The tribunal upheld the claimant’s complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered the respondent, L’italia Limited t/a Justinos Restaurant, to pay £984 gross. The judgment identified that figure as 61.50 hours worked at £16 per hour for the period 31 July 2023 to 6 August 2023.
The tribunal also upheld the claimant’s claim for unpaid accrued annual leave on termination. It found that 3 days of untaken annual leave remained outstanding and ordered payment of £384 gross. The judgment included a standard notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 stating that interest is payable if the award is not paid within 14 days of the relevant decision day, but it did not quantify any interest element in the decision 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.
