Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that B+T Tyre & Exhaust Centre Limited made unauthorised deductions from Ms S Watson’s wages contrary to section 13 Employment Rights Act 1996. It awarded £24,490 gross for deductions of £395 gross per week over 62 weeks, from 19 April 2025 up to and including the pay date of 26 June 2026.
The tribunal found that the respondent unreasonably failed to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on grievance procedures. It held that a 5% uplift was just and equitable under section 207A(2) Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, adding £1,224.50 to the award.
The respondent also failed to provide Ms Watson with a statement of employment particulars. The tribunal awarded £1,150, representing two weeks’ pay, under section 38 Employment Act 2002. It found that a higher award was not just and equitable. The total payable was £26,864.50, due by 16 July 2026, 21 days after the judgment was given orally on 25 June 2026.

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.
