Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Employment Tribunal dismissed Mr S Gray’s complaint of unlawful deduction from wages against DC Lakeside Limited and East Fellgate Limited (In Creditors Voluntary Liquation). Mr Gray did not attend or have representation at the final hearing on 22 June 2026.

Employment Judge Martin considered Rule 38 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 and determined that Mr Gray was not actively pursuing his claim. He had failed to comply with an order made on 26 March 2026 and failed to attend the final hearing without explanation, having previously been issued with a strike-out warning for non-attendance. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
