Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not attend the hearing or defend the claim. Tribunal Judge Peer, sitting alone in London Central on 15 August 2022, proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2013. The judgment records that the tribunal did not exercise discretion to postpone the hearing under rule 30A(2), refused the respondent's late application for an extension of time under rule 20, and determined the claim in the respondent's absence.
On the merits, the tribunal upheld the claimant's unlawful deduction from wages claim and ordered the respondent to pay £21,041.87, described as the total gross sum deducted. The tribunal also upheld the claimant's holiday pay claim and ordered payment of £3,807.69, described as the gross sum due.
The tribunal therefore ordered the respondent to pay £24,849.56 in total, subject to deduction of tax and any national insurance contributions due before payment. It also succeeded in the claimant's reference about the absence of an itemised pay statement for April 2022 and declared that the required particulars were the gross amount of wages, any deductions, and the net amount of wages due.

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.
