Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Lukasz Wiland was employed by Half Butt Inn/The Pub Group as a head chef from 15 April 2022 to 30 June 2022. At the hearing on 8 February 2023, the respondent did not attend. The tribunal found that the respondent had deducted two months' pay from the claimant's wages without his authorisation, which was said to be in breach of section 13(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The unlawful deduction from wages claim succeeded. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £6,666 gross. It also recorded that the claimant is responsible for any income tax or employee national insurance contributions due on the sum awarded.

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.
