Claimant v Dominic Care Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that there were no outstanding wages due to the Claimant. The Claimant failed to prove that the Respondent had unlawfully deducted wages from his pay.
Facts
Mr Jay Belmes brought a claim against his former employer, Dominic Care Limited, a healthcare provider, alleging unlawful deduction of wages. The case was heard remotely by video on 27 March 2025. The Claimant represented himself while the Respondent was represented by two in-house representatives, Mrs C Mitchell and Mr G Lawrence.
Decision
Employment Judge Laidler dismissed all claims brought by the Claimant. The tribunal found that there were no outstanding wages due to the Claimant and rejected the unlawful deduction of wages claim. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
Self-represented claimants bringing wages claims must provide sufficient evidence to prove that wages remain outstanding, as the burden of proof rests with them.
