Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss L Shipley brought a claim against Dave Tate t/a Elite Fitness for unauthorised deductions from wages. The hearing took place at North Shields on 20 September 2019 before Employment Judge S A Shore, with both parties appearing in person.
The tribunal dismissed the claim. It found that the claimant had not shown, on the balance of probabilities, that she was a worker or employee, and on that basis the unauthorised deductions from wages claim failed.
No monetary award was made and the judgment records no separate remedy assessment.

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.
