Claimant v Altum Capital Partners Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 22 that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages for the period May 2024 to October 2024, including notice period worked, and awarded the full amount claimed.
Facts
The claimant worked for Altum Capital Partners Limited and was not paid wages for the period May 2024 to October 2024, which included her notice period. The respondent failed to submit a response to the tribunal claim filed on 15 January 2025.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22 as the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The respondent was ordered to pay £37,650.17 gross in unpaid wages covering six months of work including notice.
Practical note
Employers who fail to file a tribunal response on time risk default judgments being entered against them for the full amount claimed, with no opportunity to defend the claim.
