Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 29 December 2022. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge Lewis proceeded to determine the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The unfair dismissal complaint was struck out. The tribunal recorded that section 108 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires two years' service for an unfair dismissal complaint, found that Mr J Morris had been employed for less than two years, and concluded that he was not entitled to bring that claim. The tribunal also recorded that he did not give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity, why the complaint should not be struck out.
The unlawful deduction from wages complaint succeeded. The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and ordered it to pay £880.00 gross. The judgment states that the respondent may deduct any tax and national insurance contributions due before payment is made.

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.
