Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was issued on 10 June 2024. At the hearing on 18 September 2024, the respondent had failed to present a valid response on time and did not attend. The claimant also was unable to connect to the CVP room as required and only had a mobile phone to facilitate access. In those circumstances, Regional Employment Judge Burgher decided it was in accordance with the overriding objective and the effective use of judicial resources to proceed under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
On the merits, the tribunal held that the claimant’s claim for one month’s pay succeeded and ordered payment of £2,166.67 net in respect of unpaid wages. The tribunal also held that the claimant’s breach of contract claim for reimbursement of £480 for certification succeeded, and ordered payment of that amount.
The tribunal made no order for the claimant’s further claims for £33,000 said to relate to a printer, a Macbook Air and a mobile phone. It recorded that there was no pleaded basis to support those claims. The total sum ordered was £2,646.67.

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.
