Many thanks,
I have penned an email to the CEO asking him to retract the recovery of pay instruction based on the verbal assurance.
I am 100% sure he wont, so most likely will have to take further.
Many thanks for advice on how to take further.

Hi
My CEO had a quick discussion on this with me today post my email. His 'position' is that it was clear in my employment contract that i was not going to be paid, and even though i was given duff information by the finance team, i was still responsible for being aware of my contractual agreements with the company.
His contant point was that if i had been aware of not beng paid what would i have done differently, my point back was i would have considered using holidays and not accepting the case (or at least would have thought and discussed what options I had).
He is not concerned about numbers but the principle of this!
It was left with he is going to speak to the finance team and get back to me with his position.

Hi all
Thanks all for your responses! Well and truly appreciated.
My boss mentioned that he is not legally obliged to pay me, and he referenced the .gov.uk/jury-service/taking-time-off-work site where it says 'your employer doesnt have to pay you'
Why does the government site not mention the Juries Act????
