Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing by cloud video platform on 8 December 2020 before Employment Judge S Bedeau. The respondent did not participate and was not represented. The tribunal proceeded in its absence under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 and took into account information submitted on the respondent's behalf.
After hearing the claimant's evidence, the tribunal held that the claimant's unauthorised deductions from wages claim was well-founded. The deduction identified in the judgment concerned income tax and national insurance contributions over the financial years 2013 to 2020. The respondent was ordered to pay £22,759.34 in respect of those deductions.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant was to account to HMRC for all properly payable income tax and national insurance contributions for the financial years 2013 to 2020 from that sum. In addition, the respondent was ordered to pay Preparation Time Order costs of £2,168.85. The judgment stated that the total sum payable by the respondent to the claimant was £24,928.19.

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.
