Mr J Farrugia Second
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe second respondent, Ms Maeve Hallmark, did not present a response to the claim despite being given extra time to do so and an opportunity to prove that she had posted a response in October 2020. The tribunal therefore applied Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 and determined the claim on the documentation available.
On that basis, Employment Judge Camp found that the second respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. The tribunal ordered Ms Hallmark to pay Mr J Farrugia Second the gross sum of £31,288.39, described as the amount of those deductions.

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.
