Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal accepted Ibraahiim Ahmed's oral evidence and found that Xplore UK Distribution Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from his wages. It ordered the respondent to pay £1,875 gross. The respondent had failed to file a response and was debarred from taking part in the hearing on 31 July 2026.
The tribunal allowed Ahmed's application of 16 March 2026 to amend the amount claimed to £1,875 gross. The amendment added no new cause of action and did not change the main factual or legal issues or the hearing time estimate. An HMRC statement of wages the respondent had reported paying supported the amended facts. The tribunal found that the balance of hardship and injustice favoured amendment, that the respondent suffered no prejudice and that refusing permission would risk proceeding on a false basis.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to provide a written statement of employment particulars. It held that an award of four weeks' pay was just and equitable and ordered payment of £1,800. The two awards sum to £3,675. Ahmed's application for a preparation time order was dismissed.

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.
