Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Miller, sitting alone at Hull (by video) on 20 January 2026, considered Mr Hinchcliffe's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against JCT Electrical Contractors Limited (in creditors voluntary liquidation). The claimant attended in person; the respondent did not attend.
The tribunal found that the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was well-founded, having concluded that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages throughout the year ending 31 October 2024.
The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £422.14 (the gross sum deducted, with the claimant responsible for any tax and National Insurance) and a further £400 to compensate the claimant for financial loss attributable to the unauthorised deduction. Reasons were given orally at the hearing; written reasons will not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
