Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records that the respondent was amended to Rick Johnstone and Sarah Harris-Johnstone in partnership trading as The Swim School. The claimant was represented by her husband Mr Wilding, and Mr Johnstone was unrepresented. The tribunal sat at Reading on 2 February 2023 before Employment Judge Allen with Ms Jones and Ms Tufts.
The tribunal dismissed the claim under s13 Equality Act 2010 as not well founded. The written record gives no further factual reasons for that dismissal beyond the operative finding. The decision also records that the claim under s99 and s57A ERA 1996 succeeded and that the tribunal made a declaration under s57B ERA 1996.
The claim for unlawful deduction from wages succeeded. In the remedy section, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay a total of £1,516.27 gross, comprising £1,251.07 gross subject to tax and NI and a further £265.20 in respect of failure to provide a statement of initial employment particulars. No separate award for injury to feelings, interest, basic award, or compensatory award is recorded in the written judgment.

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.
