Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present any response to the claim. Under rule 22, the Employment Judge issued judgment on the available material, finding the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages for March, April and May 2025 totalling £8,345.64.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deduction of wages against Selman Marine Design Ltd. The respondent failed to submit any response to the claim. The claimant was owed wages for three months (March, April and May 2025) at £2,781.88 per month, totalling £8,345.64.
Decision
The Employment Judge issued a default judgment under rule 22 on the available material, as no response had been presented. The respondent was ordered to pay the full amount of unpaid wages claimed (£8,345.64) plus statutory interest of £17.37.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to engage with tribunal proceedings and submits no response, the tribunal can issue a default judgment under rule 22 based solely on the claimant's claim form.
