Claimant v TPH Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well-founded after hearing evidence from both parties. The claimant failed to establish that there had been unauthorised deductions from wages.
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract was not well-founded after considering the evidence presented at the hearing. The claimant did not succeed in proving a breach of contract by the respondent.
Facts
Mr McGowan brought claims against TPH Limited for unauthorised deductions from wages and breach of contract. The case was heard by video at Manchester Employment Tribunal. Mr McGowan represented himself while the respondent was represented by Mr T Scaife, a solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims, finding that neither the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages nor the complaint of breach of contract was well-founded. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
Self-represented claimants bringing wages and contract claims face challenges when the respondent has legal representation and the claimant cannot establish their case on the evidence.
