Claimant v M Club Spa & Fitness Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent did not make unlawful deductions from the claimant's wages. The claim failed on its merits following a preliminary hearing.
Facts
Mr Grainger brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against his employer, M Club Spa & Fitness Ltd, a spa and fitness company. The matter was heard at a preliminary hearing conducted remotely. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by a consultant.
Decision
Employment Judge Perry found that the respondent did not make unlawful deductions from the claimant's wages. The claim was dismissed. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, with written reasons available only upon request within 14 days.
Practical note
Without detailed written reasons, this case serves as a reminder that unlawful deduction claims require clear evidence that wages properly payable were not paid.
