Mr R Bromke v M Healey T/A The Harcourt Lounge - Unlawful Deduction from Wages

The Employment Tribunal issued a final decision in case 6037260/2025 on 20 March 2026, determining that Mr R Bromke succeeded in his claim of unlawful deduction from wages against M Healey T/A The Harcourt Lounge. The decision was published on 27 April 2026 and falls under the Unlawful Deduction from Wages jurisdiction in England and Wales.

Employers in England and Wales should note that Employment Tribunal decisions on unlawful wage deductions create binding obligations on the parties involved. While individual tribunal decisions do not establish binding precedent, they reflect judicial interpretation of the Employment Rights Act 1996 provisions on unlawful deductions. Employers should ensure their wage and deduction practices comply with statutory requirements to minimise exposure to similar claims.
