Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the Wales Employment Tribunals on 1 December 2023. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and the Employment Judge decided that the claim could properly be determined under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On that basis, the tribunal found that Accendo Supplies Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. It ordered the respondent to pay G L Hopkins £5,400 gross. The judgment also records that the claimant is responsible for any tax and employee national insurance due.
The hearing listed for 28 February 2024 was cancelled after the rule 21 determination was made on 14 February 2024 and sent to the parties on 15 February 2024.

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.
