Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 16 April 2025 before Employment Judge Grahame Anderson, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Ms. C. Patel, the tribunal considered a single wages deduction complaint brought by Mr J. Groenewald against Nicholas Mee & Company Limited.
The tribunal found that the deduction made from the claimant’s wages was an exempted deduction within the meaning of s.14 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the unlawful deduction from wages claim was dismissed.
The written record notes that the reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time. No monetary award was made.

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.
