Claimant v Recare Recruitment Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the claimant succeeded in their claim for unauthorised deductions from wages in the amount of £3,156 gross.
Facts
Mr John brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against Recare Recruitment Limited, a recruitment company. The claim was filed on 30 April 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response to the claim within the required time limit.
Decision
Employment Judge Wood determined the claim under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure, which allows a judge to make a determination when a respondent has not presented a response. The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £3,156 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages.
Practical note
A respondent's failure to file a timely response can result in a default judgment under rule 21, with the tribunal accepting the claimant's allegations and awarding appropriate remedies without a full hearing.
