Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Ojoma Idegwu brought a claim against Arcadia Group Limited for unlawful deductions from wages. The matter was heard by Employment Judge Hallen sitting alone by telephone on 25 January 2021; the respondent was neither present nor represented.
The tribunal held that the claimant had unlawful deductions made from her wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It awarded £950 net in respect of unpaid wages for the period 1 to 31 January 2020.
The judgment records no separate findings on interest, injury to feelings, or any other heads of loss, and the award is expressed as compensation for the unpaid wages only.

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.
