W Hughes Respondent The Shady Oak Bar and Kitchen Limited HELD AT: Manchester (by video platform)
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Batten, sitting alone at Manchester by video platform on 11 June 2025, heard the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent did not appear.
The tribunal dismissed the claim because it had not been presented within the time limit prescribed by section 23(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment records that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been brought in time, so no extension of time was allowed.
No monetary award was made.

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.
