Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at East London Hearing Centre on 23 June 2022 before Employment Judge Sugarman, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by an in-house solicitor. The respondent applied to strike out the claim, but that application failed and was dismissed.
The tribunal then upheld the claimant's claim for unlawful deductions from wages. It found that sums deducted in September, October and November 2021 were due to be repaid to the claimant at the end of her notice period on 2 December 2021, and ordered the respondent to pay the net sum of £2,900.

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.
