PSE ELECTRONICS LTD v MR D N BROADERS [2001] UKEAT 0744_01_2610
[1]APPEARANCES For the Appellant NO APPEARANCE OR REPRESENTATION BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANT THE HONOURABLE MR JUSTICE WALL This is the Preliminary Hearing of an appeal by PSE Electronics Ltd against the decision of Miss Woolley, sitting alone, in the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 15 May 2001. The issue before Miss Woolley was the question of unauthorised deductions from the Respondent's wages. Miss Woolley investigated the matter with some care and great clarity. Miss Woolley decided that there had been a deduction of £411.71 from the Respondent's wages and she made an Order in those terms.[2]The appeal which is dated 5 June 2001 gives us the only ground of appeal; that the Respondent had already taken his full holiday entitlement for which he had been paid. No other ground of appeal is advanced. That is a point which Miss Woolley dealt with in the course of her reasons. She made clear findings of fact about the amount of time by way of holiday that the Respondent had taken. It is perhaps worthy of note that Miss Woolley found the Respondent to be an honest and truthful witness.[3]It seems to us therefore that this careful judgment is 'bomb proof' and that the appeal raises simply an issue of fact and no point of law. No one has appeared today to argue it and in the circumstances it will be dismissed.
