In Gill v Ford Motor Company Ltd; Singh & ors v Ford Motor Company & ors; Wong & ors v BAE Systems Operations Ltd, the EAT holds that, where the employer claims to have made deductions because of an earlier overpayment or because of the employee's participation in industrial action, the tribunal must first find whether there has actually been an overpayment of wages or whether the employee has taken part in a strike or industrial action.
