Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn a Rule 21 judgment at Newcastle Hearing Centre, Employment Judge Johnson found that Ms L Berry’s complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages was well-founded and succeeded. The respondent, Scott Michael Steele, was ordered to pay £3,893.13 as wages unlawfully deducted. The judgment states that this was a net amount and that the respondent was responsible for any income tax and national insurance contributions on it.
The tribunal also found that the claimant’s complaint of failure to pay accrued holiday pay was well-founded and succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay £234.06 in respect of accrued holiday pay, again as a net amount with responsibility for any income tax and national insurance contributions placed on the respondent. The combined amount ordered by the judgment is £4,127.19.

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.
