Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningIn this Rule 21 judgment, the tribunal found that Sterling Constructions and Renewables Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr S Lansom's wages. It ordered payment of a gross sum of £9,147.00, made up of £6,947.00 outstanding from a £11,947.00 entitlement after crediting £5,000.00 already paid, plus £2,200.00 for salary due from the end of May until 14 June 2024.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered £1,800.00. In a separate finding, it held that the respondent had breached the claimant's contract by failing to pay essential business expenses; £500.00 remained outstanding at the date employment ended, and that amount was awarded as damages for breach of contract.
The awards on the substantive claims total £11,447.00 before any interest. The accompanying interest notice stated that if the award is not paid within 14 days after the written record was sent on 5 December 2024, interest would accrue from 6 December 2024 at the stipulated rate of 8% per annum.

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.
