Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge S Davies determined the claim in the absence of an ET3 response form from the respondent, Principality Recruitment Limited. The judgment states that there was sufficient material before the tribunal to enable a proper determination under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal upheld the claimant's unpaid wages claim. The judgment records that this was a liability-only decision, so no remedy figure was assessed at this stage.
The matter was listed to proceed to a separate remedy hearing before an Employment Judge sitting alone, with a time estimate of two hours.

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.
