CLAIMANT:			Jurijus Afanasenkov

RESPONDENTS:		1. Manfreight Haulage
				2. Patricia Edgar

DECISION 
 
1.	The first-named respondent made unauthorised deductions from the wages of the claimant.  The first-named respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the sum of £345.00.

2. 	The claim against the second-named respondent is dismissed in its entirety.

Constitution of Tribunal:

Employment Judge (sitting alone):	Employment Judge Browne

Appearances:

The claimant appeared in person.

	
1.	The relevant time limit for the respondents to present a response has expired.  No response has been presented.

2.	It having been determined that a default judgment was not appropriate, I conducted a hearing by receiving evidence from the claimant through an interpreter, namely his wife.

3.	As expressed in my reasons delivered orally at the hearing I am satisfied from his evidence and from the written materials that the first-named respondent made unauthorised deductions from the wages of the claimant to a total amount of £345.00.
 
4.	The first-named respondent is therefore ordered to pay £345.00 to the claimant.

5.	I also ordered that the case against the second-named respondent should be dismissed in its entirety.  

6.	This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
