Miss Ellie Jablonski v Local Fundraising limited In Voluntary Liquidation — 2022

The claim was determined under Rule 21 because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge recorded that a determination could properly be made without a response, and that re-service was not required because the liquidator had not been appointed and the address for service changed only after the response time limit had already expired.

On the merits, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages, and it ordered payment of £1,154 gross. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded damages of £288.50.

The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,100. The judgment records no separate reduction, apportionment, or additional remedy beyond these sums, which together make the total award of £2,542.50.
