Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal issued judgment under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the response had been rejected and there was no outstanding application for reconsideration. On the available material, Employment Judge J McCluskey determined the case without a hearing. The claimant was Mr Mukesh Khicher and the respondent was Boiler Sure.
The tribunal held that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages. It ordered payment of the gross sum of £1,840, calculated by reference to £11.50 per hour for 40 hours per week over 4 weeks. The judgment states that the claimant is responsible for any tax or national insurance on that award.
The tribunal also found a breach of contract arising from the respondent’s failure to pay mileage expenses. It ordered damages of £2,500, with the calculation stated as £0.617 per mile for 4,050 miles. In addition, the tribunal found that at the start of the proceedings the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of terms and conditions, and ordered a gross sum of £920, calculated as 2 weeks at £460 per week.
The awards together total £5,260. The judgment does not record any separate award for interest, compensation, or injury to feelings, and it does not identify any lay members or any discrimination-related issue.

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.
