Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Bristol Employment Tribunals on 15 May 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made 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. The judgment states that Connell Haulage and Plant Ltd must pay Mr M Hooper £1,667.99 gross.
The judgment is short and does not set out additional findings, legal analysis, or any separate breakdown of the award beyond the gross sum ordered for the wages claim.

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.
