EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4102304/2022 Mr Ross David William Clarkson
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a rule 21 judgment issued on the available material because no response had been presented. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £665.13. The reasons section broke that figure down as £420 for one week, £176.88 for 67 days at 15 minutes for checking the vehicle as required by law, and £68.25 for pay for 8 December 2021 when the claimant was sent home for refusing to drive a truck with faulty brakes.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had been dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £420 in damages. In addition, it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £2,268.
The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed. The tribunal stated that the claimant did not have two years' continuous employment and that it therefore did not have jurisdiction to consider the claim. The judgment was dated 16 September 2022 and entered in the register on 21 September 2022.

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.
