Claimant v AGO – UK1 Management 1 Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to attend and did not submit a response. Under Rule 21, the tribunal proceeded to determine the claim on the basis of the information available and found in favour of the claimant on her claim for unlawful deduction of wages.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unlawful deduction of wages against her former employer, AGO – UK1 Management 1 Ltd, which was in voluntary liquidation. Neither party attended the hearing held remotely via CVP on 30 October 2025. The respondent had not submitted a response to the claim.
Decision
The tribunal proceeded under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 to determine the claim in the absence of both parties. The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unlawful deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £11,739.26 gross.
Practical note
Rule 21 default judgments can proceed even where neither party attends, with the tribunal determining the claim based on available information where the respondent has failed to respond.
