Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands East Employment Tribunals on 13 February 2022. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge decided that the claim could properly be determined under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The hearing listed for 17 June 2022 was cancelled.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages. It ordered Rieke Packaging Systems Ltd to pay Mr E Odibo £4,094.20 gross. No separate breakdown of the award was given beyond that figure.

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.
