Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe multiple claims were issued on 5 April 2023 in the Midlands (East) Employment Tribunal.

The hearing listed for 7 August 2023 was cancelled.
For Mr James Randles, the tribunal found unauthorised deductions from wages of £1,330 gross and also found a breach of s.38 of the Employment Act 2002, awarding £200 net, described as two weeks' wages.

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.
