Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a CVP hearing in Edinburgh on 11 February 2026, Employment Judge R Mackay heard Mr J Smart's claim against Washstation Limited. Mr Smart appeared in person and the respondent was represented by an HR representative.
The tribunal held that the claimant's claim of unlawful deduction from wages succeeded. The judgment records that the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £1,000.
Oral reasons were given at the end of the hearing, but the extracted text does not set out those reasons. No separate breakdown of the award is provided in the judgment, and no other claims are recorded in the extract.

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.
