Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Reading Employment Tribunal on 18 and 19 September 2023 before Employment Judge George. The judgment concerns seven claimants' unlawful deduction from wages claims against NG Bailey Ltd. The tribunal upheld the claim brought by Mr I Clydesdale and ordered the respondent to pay him £523.76 gross of tax and national insurance contributions.
The tribunal also upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claim brought by Mr D Campbell and ordered payment of £82.22 gross, described as 4.5 hours at £18.27 gross per hour and also calculated gross of tax and national insurance contributions. The judgment does not set out any broader legal reasoning beyond the outcome for the successful claims.
The claims of all other claimants, namely Mr B Bardsley, Mr B Carstairs, Mr J Hamilton, Mr D Ross and Mr S Thompson, were found not well founded and dismissed. The bottom-line monetary awards recorded in the judgment total £605.98.

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.
