Mr M Kurasiak
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Midlands West Employment Tribunals on 16 January 2023. The respondent, Otium Services & Facilities Limited, failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages. It ordered the respondent to pay Mr M Kurasiak £294.50 gross. The judgment records that £294.50 was the total amount payable.
The hearing listed for 12 July 2023 was cancelled after the rule 21 judgment was issued on 4 July 2023.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
