Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at the Employment Tribunal at Newcastle upon Tyne on 27 March 2023, listed to be heard remotely by CVP. Employment Judge Heather heard the case. The claimant, Melanie Proud, attended and represented herself. The respondent, Mattco Gift Retailing Limited, did not attend and was not represented.
The tribunal refused the claimant’s application to add Innovative Gift Retailing Limited as an additional respondent. On the substantive complaint, the tribunal found that the complaint of unlawful deductions from wages was well founded and succeeded.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant arrears of pay in the gross sum of £3,481.64, before any deductions for tax and national insurance as appropriate. The judgment records that this was the total amount due to the claimant.

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.
