EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4123554/2018 Mr S Steele
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningNo response had been presented to the claim, so the Employment Judge issued a Rule 21 judgment on the available material. The tribunal found that Michael Burnett Garage Services Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr S Steele's wages and ordered the respondent to pay £235.
The tribunal also found that Mr Steele had incurred bank charges of £386 as a result of the late payment of wages. It made a declaration to that effect and ordered the respondent to pay £386 for financial loss sustained by the claimant and attributable to the respondent's failure to pay wages timeously, under section 24(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The hearing listed for 7 March 2019 was cancelled.

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.
