Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was decided on the papers by Employment Judge Midgley. The tribunal recorded the respondent's concession that it owed the claimant £1,742.46, and held that the claim for unauthorised deduction of wages was well founded. It ordered the respondent to pay that sum to the claimant.
The tribunal also recorded the respondent's concession to the claimant's application for time preparation costs, which were summarily assessed at £310. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
