Claimant v Think It Simple Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent did not make unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. The claim was not well-founded and was dismissed after a full hearing of the evidence.
Facts
Mr Garry brought a claim against his former employer Think It Simple Ltd alleging that they had made unauthorised deductions from his wages. The case proceeded to a full hearing at London South Employment Tribunal, with the claimant representing himself and the respondent represented by a litigation consultant.
Decision
Employment Judge Ramsden dismissed the claim, finding that the respondent had not made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. The claim was not well-founded. Oral reasons were given at the hearing.
Practical note
A claimant must establish that deductions from wages were unauthorised; merely alleging deductions occurred is insufficient without evidence that they were not properly authorised or contractually permitted.
