Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 because the time limit for presenting a response had expired on 15 December 2021 and no response had been filed. Employment Judge Gumbiti-Zimuto decided the matter on the available material without a contested hearing.
On that basis, the tribunal found that Message Matrix Limited had made an unauthorised deduction from Mr Richard Morecroft's wages. The respondent was ordered to pay him the gross sum of £12,549.46.

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.
