462 Default judgment Scotland EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4103456/2023 Mr C Maclachlan
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 21 judgment in which no response had been presented by Onyx Discovery Limited. Employment Judge N Hosie therefore decided the case on the available material without an appearance from the respondent.
The tribunal found that the respondent had unlawfully withheld wages from Mr C Maclachlan in the sum of £3,507.80. It ordered the respondent to pay that same amount to the claimant.
The judgment did not record any split between different heads of loss, nor did it refer to interest or any other separate remedy. The listed hearing on 11 October 2023 was cancelled after judgment was issued.

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.
