Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard on 2 February 2022 at Watford Hearing Centre before Employment Judge Tobin sitting alone, in a hybrid hearing. The tribunal heard evidence from the claimant and from Mr M El-Bassyouni for the respondent. The judgment records that the hearing was agreed to be hybrid because the relevant matters could be determined in that format.
The claimant succeeded in his claim for unauthorised deduction of wages pursuant to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal did not record separate findings for any other cause of action in the written judgment, and the reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The tribunal awarded the claimant £14,774.07. That figure was made up of reimbursement of deductions for employer's national insurance contributions/employment tax (£6,513.51), holiday pay/holiday provision (£6,327.81), and company overheads (£1,932.75). The written record states that the total awarded to the claimant from the respondent was £14,774.07.

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.
