Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a valid response in time. On that basis, Employment Judge Phil Allen determined the claims under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records no contested hearing or substantive findings beyond the default determination.
For Mr A Morris, the tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered payment of £960.65. For Mr A Hutchinson, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of the net sum outstanding of £4,819.56.
Mr Hutchinson’s application to amend his claim to include unauthorised deductions from his wages for January and February 2024 was granted. The hearing listed for 17 May 2024 was cancelled. The separate interest notice stated that statutory interest would apply if the award remained unpaid after 14 days, at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum, but no separate interest sum was quantified in the judgment text.

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.
