Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal dismissed the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, finding that it was not well-founded.

The Tribunal also dismissed the breach of contract claim because it had no jurisdiction to hear that complaint. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written judgment does not provide further reasons unless requested.

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.
