Claimant v Liam O'Brien
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages to be well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay the gross sum deducted of £2,175.97 to the claimant.
The claimant brought other claims which were dismissed by the tribunal, but the specific nature of these claims and reasons for dismissal were not detailed in the judgment.
Facts
The claimant brought multiple claims against the individual respondent Liam O'Brien, including a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages. The matter was heard in a one-day hearing at Reading Employment Tribunal with both parties legally represented. The tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions totaling £2,175.97 gross from the claimant's wages.
Decision
The tribunal upheld the claimant's complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £2,175.97 gross to the claimant. The claimant's other claims were dismissed, though the judgment does not specify the nature of these other claims or the reasons for their dismissal.
Practical note
Even when bringing multiple claims with only partial success, a claimant can still recover unauthorised wage deductions where the tribunal finds the complaint well-founded.
