Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 1 November 2021. The respondent said it had submitted a response on 23 December 2021, but the Employment Tribunal did not receive it. The respondent did not attend the hearing on 1 March 2023 at which its reconsideration request dated 30 December 2022 was due to be considered, and it also failed to comply with the orders made by Employment Judge Postle for the later hearing on 21 April 2023.
Because there was no response before the tribunal and the respondent had failed to comply with the orders, the reconsideration request could not proceed. Judgment on liability was therefore entered for the claimant under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The tribunal upheld the claims for unlawful deduction from wages and holiday pay. It found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and ordered payment of £470 gross, and it found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £652.50. The judgment records a total sum of £1,292.50 payable to the claimant on those claims.
In addition, the respondent was ordered to pay £84 preparation time costs as previously ordered by Employment Judge Postle on 1 March 2023. The written record states that reasons were given orally and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
