Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent did not present a response form (ET3) by the 3 July 2024 deadline or at any later date. The tribunal had reminded him by letters dated 25 July 2024 and 20 August 2024 that he needed to lodge a response and, if necessary, apply for an extension of time. Rule 21(3) was explained and applied, and the respondent was not permitted to defend the claim.
The tribunal found that Mrs M S Burns was both an employee and a worker for the purposes of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Working Time Regulations 1998 and the Employment Tribunals (Extension of Jurisdiction) (Scotland) Order 1994. On that basis, it awarded compensation for her accrued right to paid annual leave on termination in the gross sum of £1,165.21.
The tribunal also awarded compensation for breach of contract in respect of reimbursable expenses totalling £190.75. It ordered the respondent to pay both sums to the claimant. Oral reasons were given at the hearing in the presence of the parties.

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.
