Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr E Elsopki brought a claim for unlawful deduction from wages against Grace Land (Camden) Limited t/a Bethnal Green Tavern. The respondent did not present a response within the rule 16 period, did not make a compliant rule 20 application, and did not attend the hearing. The tribunal therefore proceeded in the interests of justice under rule 47, heard evidence from the claimant, and considered the ET1, a WhatsApp thread provided by the claimant, and the tribunal file documents.
The tribunal held that the claimant’s unlawful deduction from wages claim under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well founded. It declared that the respondent had deducted £943.87 from the claimant’s net wages due on 10 September 2020 and ordered the respondent to pay that sum net of any deduction required for tax and national insurance contributions.

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.
