Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant presented a claim on 23 January 2021 on behalf of himself and Thomas Venclik complaining of unlawful deductions from wages. Mr Steto also brought claims of unfair dismissal and discrimination on the grounds of religion or belief. The respondent resisted all claims. A hearing was listed for 26 November 2021 in Edinburgh, but neither party attended.
The tribunal noted that by an order dated 20 October 2021, Employment Judge d'Inverno had already struck out the unfair dismissal and religion or belief claims because they had not been actively pursued. That order also required Mr Steto, on his own behalf and for Mr Venclik, to show cause by 4pm on the tenth day after service of the order why the remaining unlawful deductions claim should not be struck out for non-compliance and for not being actively pursued, with dismissal to follow if there was no response. Other than an email from Mr Steto on 25 October 2021 asking whether anything further was needed, the tribunal recorded no substantive response and a reminder from the tribunal administration.

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.
