Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr J W Wade, brought a claim for unpaid wages in the sum of £790. After reservice on the correct respondent, David Barker trading as DB Transport, the respondent failed to file a response by the deadline.
Judgment was therefore entered on a Rule 21 basis on the information provided in the ET1. The tribunal held that the claimant's claim for unauthorised deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was well-founded and succeeded.
The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £790, subject to any statutory deduction the respondent might be obliged to make.

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.
