The tribunal recorded that Aspirare Group UK Ltd had made an unauthorised deduction from Ms C Sommerville's wages and ordered payment of £14,166.65.

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.
