Claimant v PCMC Healthcare Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondents failed to present a valid response on time. Under Rule 21, the tribunal determined the claim on the papers and found that the respondents had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages.
Facts
Mrs Kome brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against two healthcare companies. The claim was filed on 30 April 2025 in the Midlands East Employment Tribunal. The respondents failed to submit a valid response within the required time limit.
Decision
Employment Judge Heap determined the case on the papers under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules. The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondents to pay £5,625.00 gross for unauthorised wage deductions. The scheduled hearing for 5 September 2025 was cancelled.
Practical note
Default judgments under Rule 21 can be entered where respondents fail to respond, enabling claimants to obtain judgment without a full hearing.
