Claimant v Sakku Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the tribunal determined the claim on the papers under rule 21. The tribunal found the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and awarded compensation accordingly.
Facts
The claimant M R Rahimi brought a claim against Sakku Ltd for unpaid holiday pay. The claim was filed on 28 November 2024 at the Manchester Employment Tribunal. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the tribunal proceeded to determine the claim on the papers under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure.
Decision
Employment Judge Slater determined that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,119.19, calculated as 9.7 days at £115.38 per day. The hearing scheduled for 11 December 2025 was cancelled.
Practical note
A respondent's failure to file a timely response can result in a default judgment under rule 21, allowing the tribunal to determine claims on the papers without a hearing.
