Claimant v Meat and Wine Company Mayfair Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages was not well-founded and dismissed the claim. The claimant was unable to establish that there had been an unlawful deduction from wages.
The tribunal determined there was no statutory claim for detriment for asserting a statutory right. The claim failed because no valid statutory claim existed on the facts.
Facts
Mr Werrett brought claims against Meat and Wine Company Mayfair Limited for unauthorised deductions from wages and detriment for asserting a statutory right. The case was heard remotely by video over two days. The claimant represented himself while the respondent was represented by a litigation consultant.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed both claims. The unauthorised deductions from wages claim was found not to be well-founded. The detriment claim failed because the tribunal determined there was no statutory claim for detriment for asserting a statutory right on the facts presented.
Practical note
A claim for detriment for asserting a statutory right requires an underlying valid statutory right to have been asserted.
