Claimant

Mr S Massaro

Respondent

Cleverchef Ltd

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal entered judgment for the claimant under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because the respondent, Cleverchef Ltd, did not enter a response to the claim. The only claim identified in the judgment was unlawful deduction from wages.

Judgment was entered for the claimant in the sum of £337.00 gross. The judgment does not record any apportionment of that sum into separate heads of loss, and it does not identify any additional remedies or findings beyond the default judgment on 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.
