Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the respondent's name to Surrey County Council. It recorded that the claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel at a CVP hearing before Employment Judge Richter.
The complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was found to be well-founded. The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the period April-May 2024, although the amount due had subsequently been paid.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £20 to compensate for financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deduction. Reasons were given orally, and no written reasons were included in the judgment.

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.
