Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the matter under Rule 21(2) because the respondent did not present a response and the claimant provided details of his losses so that the claim could be determined. On that basis, the claimant's complaint of unlawful deduction from wages succeeded.
The tribunal ordered Keg Man Limited to pay Mr B Cooke the gross sum of £2,250 in settlement of the successful wages claim. The separate notice to the parties stated that if the sum was not paid within 14 days after the relevant decision day, interest would be payable at 8% per annum from 1 February 2023. The hearing listed for 8 February 2023 was cancelled.

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.
