Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claim was presented on 11 August 2025. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that the claim could properly be determined under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.

The tribunal found that Oxford Oils Ltd made unauthorised deductions from Mr A Scargill's wages of £306.29 in January 2025, £4,166.67 in February 2025 and £1,153.86 in March 2025. After allowing for a partial payment of £500 made on 3 September 2025, it ordered the respondent to pay the remaining £5,126.82 gross. The tribunal also found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and awarded £480.78, producing a total award of £5,607.60.

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.
