Mr R Turner v Total Home Delivery Limited — 2025

This was a Rule 22 judgment issued without a response from the respondent. The Tribunal was satisfied that the claim form had been sent to the respondent in accordance with rule 16 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024, and that the claimant had provided further information enabling a determination to be made on the papers.

The Tribunal found the claim for unauthorised deductions from wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to be well founded and ordered the respondent to pay the claimant £1,040 net within 14 days. The breach of contract claim for notice pay, brought under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994, was also well founded; the claimant's statutory notice period was one week and he had not been paid for it, so the respondent was ordered to pay £520 net within 14 days.

The redundancy payment claim under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was struck out pursuant to rule 38(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024 because the claimant had not been employed by the respondent for two years or more, as required by section 155 of that Act, and he had not replied to the strike out warning letter the Tribunal sent on 16 January 2025.
