Claimant v Greater Manchester Sports Clubs Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the tribunal made a determination under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages.
Facts
