Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded. It found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages for work between 27 April and 12 June 2024 inclusive, and ordered payment of the gross sum deducted.
The Tribunal also found that, when proceedings were begun, the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. It awarded an amount equal to two weeks' gross pay under section 38 Employment Act 2002 and did not make a four-week award.

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.
