Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Lincoln on 16 March 2020 before Employment Judge Blackwell sitting alone. The tribunal recorded that the first respondents, Lincoln Diocesan Trust & Board of Finance Limited, were dismissed from the action because they were not the employer.
Ms Thomas’s unlawful deduction from wages claim succeeded by consent so far as it related to a failure to pay the national minimum wage. The second respondents, The Ecclesiastical Parish of Boston, were ordered to pay her £1,273.00 in respect of that claim.
A separate element of the unlawful deduction from wages claim, said to arise from an alleged variation of her contract of employment which increased her hours, failed and was dismissed. The written record states that oral reasons had been given at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

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.
