Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr TJ V Garcia presented a claim in the Newcastle Employment Tribunal on 30 April 2025 against Wootzano Limited. The respondent stated in its response that it did not contest the claim, and the Employment Judge determined the matter, or part of it, under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. It found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period stated in the judgment, and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum deducted.
The amount awarded was £7,600.88 gross, with the judgment recording that the claimant is responsible for any tax or National Insurance due. No separate award structure was set out beyond that payment.

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.
