Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing on 20 March 2023, Employment Judge Shore heard Ms R Orchard’s case against All Seasons Food & Drinks Ltd. The tribunal recorded that the respondent’s correct name was All Seasons Food & Drinks Ltd and amended the record accordingly.
The claimant’s claims were for unauthorised deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal held that those claims were not presented within the time limit in section 23 of the Act.
The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claims to have been presented on time. On that basis, it held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claims and struck them out. No monetary remedy was recorded.

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.
