Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss P Drake brought a claim against The Mates Group Ltd for unlawful deduction from wages. The case was heard at Liverpool by CVP on 9 January 2025 before Employment Judge Ainscough, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent not in attendance.
The tribunal held that the claim for unlawful deduction from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeded. The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £8,333.32 gross.
The written record also gave notice on interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that the relevant decision day was 17 January 2025, the calculation day was 18 January 2025, and the stipulated rate of interest was 8% per annum. No separate written reasons were provided because reasons had been given orally at the hearing.

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.
