Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully deducted £3,730.80 gross from the claimant’s pay for October and November 2023. It ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant, subject to the required deductions for income tax and any other deductions that had to be paid to HMRC.

The judgment also records that the respondent admitted liability and asked for payment by instalments. The tribunal noted that it had no power to make an instalment order, and stated that it would not have made such an order in the circumstances even if it had possessed that power.

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.
