Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss H Whelan brought a claim on 5 July 2023 for an unspecified amount of unpaid wages. The respondent, Funhouse Stockton Limited, was required to file a response by 30 August 2023 but did not do so, and the tribunal entered judgment under Rule 21 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 judgment was on liability only. The tribunal recorded that the amount payable would be decided at a remedy hearing.

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.
