EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4106973/2019 Mrs U Fullerton
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs U Fullerton brought a claim that she had suffered an unlawful deduction of wages between 11 January 2019 and 5 April 2019. She said that on or about 7 April 2019 her employment had transferred to Aberdeen Business Ltd. The claimant initially named three respondents, but after a closed preliminary hearing on 28 August 2019 she withdrew her claims against the other two companies. Aberdeen Business Ltd did not lodge a response and was not present or represented.
The tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 on the basis of the material available. It accepted the claimant's calculation in section 8.2 of the ET1 and was satisfied that the unpaid wages were due, even though they related to a period before the transfer. The tribunal held that Aberdeen Business Ltd was liable for the sum under regulation 4 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations, noting that any right of recovery against the claimant's previous employer was a matter for the respondent.

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.
