Facts
Ms Taylor brought multiple claims against her former employer Avery Healthcare Limited, including unfair dismissal, age and race discrimination, and unauthorised deduction of wages. The case was heard over three days before a full tribunal panel. Reasons for the judgment were given orally at the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all discrimination and unfair dismissal claims, finding them not well founded. However, the tribunal upheld the wages claim and awarded the claimant £972 for unauthorised deductions, subject to tax and national insurance.
Practical note
Even where an unrepresented claimant fails on discrimination and dismissal claims against a represented employer, a successful wages claim can result in some recovery.
