Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Quill determined the claim under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024. All claims against Azharul Islam were dismissed because he was not the claimant's employer; Marhabar Ltd was found to be the claimant's employer at all relevant times.
Marhabar Ltd was found to have made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and was ordered to pay £2,917.44 gross (22.83 days at £127.79 per day). The judge held that he was not satisfied an allegation about a £48 incidental expense relating to a duplicate window cleaner invoice fell within the tribunal's jurisdiction and made no award in that respect.

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.
