Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 19 October 2022 and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge therefore decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 without a hearing, and the hearing listed for 3 February 2023 was cancelled.
On the merits of the pleaded money claims, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages. It ordered the respondent to pay £616 gross in respect of that claim.
The tribunal also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement. It ordered payment of £67.59 for that claim. The total sum ordered was £683.59.

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.
