Claimant v West End Galleries Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 22 that the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages succeeded and awarded the full amount claimed.
Facts
Mr McBride brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against West End Galleries Limited. The claim was filed on 19 September 2025 at the London Central Employment Tribunal. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time period.
Decision
Employment Judge Snelson determined the claim on the papers under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure. The judge found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £2,106.09 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages. The scheduled hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims risk default judgment being entered against them without a hearing, resulting in automatic liability for the amounts claimed.
