Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dealt with two complaints brought by Mrs M Barrell against the Commissioner of the Metropolis. On the unlawful deduction of wages complaint, the Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the matter because the Respondent no longer claimed an overpayment of salary from the Claimant and no longer sought to make a deduction from her wages.
On the Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 complaint, the Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claim because it was issued outside the Regulations' time limits. The Tribunal also recorded that it was unable to hear the claim because the Claimant did not rely on an actual comparator as required by the Regulations.
The parties came to an agreement on costs. The judgment does not record any monetary award on the substantive claims.

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.
