Claimant v Classic Trace Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on the claim for unlawful deduction of wages. The respondent did not attend the hearing to defend the claim. The tribunal awarded the claimant the sum claimed.
Facts
Mr Waite brought a claim against his former employer Classic Trace Ltd for unlawful deduction of wages. The respondent failed to attend the hearing. The hearing proceeded in the respondent's absence with the claimant appearing in person by video link.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £484.62 gross in unpaid wages. The respondent's non-attendance meant the claim was undefended.
Practical note
A respondent's failure to attend a hearing can result in a default judgment against them where the claimant's evidence supports their claim.
