Facts

Decision
Employment Judge Heap granted a default judgment in favour of the claimant, awarding £1,464.51 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages and £132.36 for unpaid holiday entitlement, totalling £1,596.87. The decision was made on the papers without a hearing due to the respondent's failure to respond.
Practical note
When a respondent fails to present a response on time, the tribunal can make a default judgment under Rule 22, awarding the full amounts claimed for wages and holiday pay without a hearing.
