Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claim for unauthorised deduction from wages was not well founded and dismissed it. The claimant failed to establish that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from his wages.
Facts
Mr S Tanner brought a claim against his employer Savrec Ltd alleging unauthorised deduction from wages. The case was heard in Cardiff with the claimant representing himself and the respondent represented by counsel. Only oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge C Sharp dismissed the claim, finding that it was not well founded. The tribunal concluded that the claimant had not established that there had been an unauthorised deduction from his wages.
Practical note
A claimant must prove on the balance of probabilities that a deduction from wages was both made and unauthorised; mere allegation is insufficient.
