EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4105400/2022 Mr J Ritchie
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment on the available material because no response had been presented to the claim. The respondent, Octevo Housing Solutions Limited (in administration), was noted to be in administration, but the administrator consented to the continuation of the proceedings in an email dated 15 November 2022.
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. The claim therefore succeeded as an unlawful deduction from wages claim.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay Mr J Ritchie £49,500 gross, described as 33 weeks at £1,500 per week. The judgment does not separate the award into component parts beyond that gross sum.

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.
