Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant brought a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages against the Respondent (an individual, Mr Paul Richard Didd). The hearing was held by CVP at London South on 23 February 2026 before Employment Judge Tueje sitting alone, with the Claimant unrepresented and the Respondent not in attendance.
The Tribunal found the complaint to be well-founded. The Respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the Claimant's wages in respect of work undertaken between November 2024 and June 2025.
The Respondent was ordered to pay the Claimant £3,460.00, being the gross sum deducted, with the Claimant responsible for any tax or National Insurance. Reasons were given orally; written reasons were not provided in the published judgment.

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.
