Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge JL Wade issued a Rule 21 judgment after the respondent failed to file ET3 grounds of resistance. The judge decided that the claim could properly be determined on the papers without a hearing.
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay the claimant wages, including overtime, holiday pay and pension payments. The judgment did not quantify those sums at that stage.
Instead, the claimant was ordered to send the tribunal, with a copy to the respondent, the figures for wages before tax, overtime pay, holiday pay before tax or the number of days due, and any expenses directly arising from the failure to pay by 26 March. The tribunal stated that it did not have jurisdiction to award compensation for general distress in these circumstances, and the hearing listed for 12 March 2020 was vacated.

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.
