Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss L Dawkins brought a claim against Home Sweet Home Care Limited for unauthorised deduction from wages. The respondent did not attend the hearing or take part in the proceedings, and the tribunal noted that a Rule 21 order had been made before the full merits hearing on 10 April 2024.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the net amount of £582.50. No other claim types, liability issues, or separate heads of remedy were recorded in the judgment.
The tribunal ordered the respondent, whose name was amended to Home Sweet Home Care Limited, to pay the claimant £582.50 forthwith. The judgment does not record any interest award or additional compensation beyond that sum.

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.
