Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment issued because no response had been presented to the claim. On the available material, Employment Judge Barrett found that Solmax Group UK Limited had made unauthorised deductions from Mr Serge Meulenbelt’s wages in respect of salary, holiday pay and notice pay.
The tribunal also found that the respondent breached the claimant’s contract of employment by failing to make pension contributions. The judgment did not set out any monetary award at this stage.
The final hearing listed for 7 November 2022 was converted to a remedy hearing to determine the compensation to which the claimant was entitled.

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.
