Claimant v Slurp Noodles Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present an ET3 or appear. The claimant gave evidence confirming the contents of his ET1. The tribunal found the respondent unlawfully deducted £634.62 from the claimant's final wages for the period 6 to 12 January 2025.
The respondent failed to defend the claim. The claimant gave evidence confirming his schedule of loss. The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to payment for 17.5 days of accrued but untaken annual leave at a daily rate of £126.92.
The respondent did not appear or defend. The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to one week's notice pay of £634.62, which was not paid by the respondent in breach of contract.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Slurp Noodles Limited, which entered creditors voluntary liquidation. His final wages for 6-12 January 2025 were unlawfully deducted in the amount of £634.62. He was also owed 17.5 days of accrued but untaken holiday pay and one week's notice pay. The respondent failed to present an ET3 response or attend the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found all three claims succeeded as default judgments. The respondent was ordered to pay £634.62 for unlawful wage deductions, £2,221.17 for holiday pay, and £634.62 for notice pay, totalling £3,490.41.
Practical note
Default judgments are available when respondents fail to defend claims, but claimants must still provide evidence to prove their entitlement, even where the respondent is insolvent.
