Mr J Kara brought claims against Martin Environmental Services Ltd including unauthorised wage deductions, protected disclosure detriment, automatic unfair dismissal, and health and safety related claims. The tribunal found the unauthorised deduction complaint well-founded with deductions already repaid, but dismissed all other claims as not well-founded.

The claims for protected disclosure detriment, automatic unfair dismissal, health and safety detriment, and unfair health and safety dismissal were all dismissed as not well-founded, though reasons were given orally and written reasons are not provided in this record.
