Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Rao heard the claim at the London East Hearing Centre on 18 August 2025. The respondent, what street? Limited, had been notified of the claim and the final hearing by letter dated 16 April 2025 sent to its registered office, but did not file a response and did not attend or arrange representation. Pursuant to Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the hearing proceeded in the respondent's absence.
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded, holding that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction of £2,815 from the claimant's wages owed in the period October to December 2024. The respondent was further ordered to pay £866 to compensate the claimant for financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deduction, comprising £66 in travel expenses and £800 in loan interest and related financial losses.
The respondent was ordered to pay the total sum of £3,681 (subject to tax and national insurance on the wages element). Reasons were given orally at the hearing and written reasons will only be provided on request within 14 days.

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.
