Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued in the London South Employment Tribunals on 23 February 2023. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge dealt with the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 and made a determination on the papers.
The tribunal found that Sports Mole Limited had made unauthorised deductions from Mr J Walczak's wages. It ordered the respondent to pay him £270.50 gross. The judgment records the same sum as the total amount payable.
The hearing listed for 10 August 2023 was cancelled.

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.
