Claimant v Umbrella-Company Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages contrary to Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was not well founded. The claim was dismissed after a full merits hearing.
Facts
Mr Beattie brought a claim against Umbrella-Company Limited alleging unauthorised deductions from wages under Part II of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The case was heard remotely by CVP before Employment Judge Gibson. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by a litigation consultant from Peninsula.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claim of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well founded and dismissed the complaint. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, with written reasons available only upon request within 14 days.
Practical note
An umbrella company successfully defended an unauthorised deductions claim, with the self-represented claimant's complaint being dismissed as not well founded.
