Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr James Smith, did not attend or be represented at the hearing on 15 July 2019. Employment Judge Elgot therefore decided the case on the ET1, the ET3, the respondent's bundle, and the oral submissions of Mr Rothwell for Highway Safety Management Limited.
The only claim identified in the judgment was for unlawful deduction from wages. That claim was dismissed. The tribunal was satisfied that the claimant had signified in writing his agreement or consent to the deduction, and that there was a relevant provision in his contract authorising it. The deduction was initially £500, but after a credit of £115.30 to the claimant it was reduced to £384.70.

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.
