Mr Santan D’Costa
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment. The respondent did not present a response by the expiry of the response time limit on 29 May 2019, so Employment Judge Gumbiti-Zimuto determined the case on the available material without a hearing. The tribunal also recorded that the hearing listed for 7 October 2019 would not take place.
The tribunal found that MJB Group Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr Santan D’Costa’s wages. It ordered the respondent to pay him £788.50 gross. The judgment stated that if the respondent pays the tax and national insurance due to HMRC, payment of the net amount will meet the judgment debt.

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.
