16 A (Scot) Rule judgment EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4100006/2024 Mr A McDougall

Respondent

Hopeman Sands Coffee Shop Limited

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a Rule 21 judgment in which no response had been presented to the claim. On the available material, Employment Judge N Hosie determined that the respondent, Hopeman Sands Coffee Shop Limited, had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages within section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

The tribunal therefore upheld the unlawful deduction from wages claim and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant the net sum of £4,330.92. No separate remedy breakdown was given in the judgment, and no other claims or findings were recorded.

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.
