Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the respondent’s name to MJE Holdings Limited (trading as Qubana). It found that it had not been reasonably practicable for Mr I Ali to present his complaint within the time limit in section 23(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and that he had presented it within a reasonable time thereafter. Under section 23(4), the tribunal could therefore consider the complaint on its merits.
The tribunal found Mr Ali’s complaint of an unauthorised deduction from wages well-founded. It ordered the respondent to pay £935.04 gross, representing 126 hours worked at £12.21 per hour (£1,538.46), less £603.42 already paid on 30 June 2025.

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.
