Ex-Manchester Metropolis footballer Benjamin Mendy has gained the vast majority of his employment tribunal declare in opposition to the membership over £11.5m in unpaid wage the membership withheld from him after he was charged with intercourse offences.
The France worldwide and World Cup winner was later cleared of all fees after two trials.
Employment decide Joanne Dunlop stated she had concluded that Mendy is “entitled to recover some, but not all of the sums claimed”, following a listening to at Manchester Employment Tribunal.
Ms Dunlop stated that whereas Mr Mendy was not in custody, he was “ready and willing” to work and was “prevented from doing so which were unavoidable or involuntary on his part”.
“In those circumstances, and absent any authorisation in the contract for the employer to withhold pay, he was entitled to be paid.”
The precise quantity he’ll obtain is to be calculated by Mendy and the membership, or decided at a future listening to if they can not attain an settlement.
