Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was determined under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Aspden decided that a determination could properly be made without a response, and the listed hearing on 16 November 2023 was cancelled.
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages well-founded. It held that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction by failing to pay the claimant's wages for July 2023. The judgment ordered Easy Business Group Limited to pay Mr T Swainston £2,400, described as the gross sum deducted and subject to any deductions the respondent was required by law to make and pay to HMRC in respect of income tax or national insurance referable to that sum.

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.
