Mr O Bader v Respondent — 2022

The claim was determined on the basis that the respondent's time for presenting a response had expired and no valid response had been presented. On the information before Employment Judge M Warren, the tribunal found that O’Carroll Geospatial Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr O Bader's wages. The judgment records that £2,010.77 was payable for 15 days worked and unpaid at £115 per day, together with £285.77 expenses.

The tribunal also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of section 86 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 in respect of notice. Damages of £575 were awarded for that claim, described as one week's pay. The judgment states that the total payable under the judgment, without deduction and taxable in the hands of the claimant, was £2,585.77. It also notes that no claim for holiday pay was made in the claim form and that no compensation for future loss was recoverable under these heads of claim.
