Respondent

Yanfeng Liu

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The respondent did not file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance. The tribunal therefore considered the ET1 and, under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, determined the claim without a hearing. The listed hearing on 21 October 2021 did not take place.

The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully failed to pay the claimant wages owed. It ordered the respondent to pay a total of £5,749, made up of sums for March 2020 (£1,179), April 2021 (£1,129), May 2021 (£1,156), June 2021 (£1,129) and July 2021 (£1,129). The judgment also ordered the respondent to account to HMRC for the tax and national insurance due on that amount.

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.
