Claimant v Justizia Technologies Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time and the tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22. The respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages totalling £7,811.16 for unpaid wages from December 2024, January 2025, February 2025, and unpaid holiday pay, less £225 deduction for cost of a laptop.
The tribunal found that the respondent owed 6 days of unpaid holiday pay as part of the unauthorised deductions, which was included in the total award made under the default judgment.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unpaid wages and holiday pay against his former employer, a technology company. The respondent failed to submit a response on time. The claimant was owed 50% of December 2024 wages, all of January 2025 wages, 4 days of February 2025 wages, and 6 days of unpaid holiday pay, totalling £7,811.16 net. A deduction of £225 was made for the cost of a laptop.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22 in favour of the claimant because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £7,586.16 net for unauthorised deductions from wages and unpaid holiday pay.
Practical note
Respondents who fail to submit timely responses to tribunal claims risk default judgments being entered against them without a hearing on the merits.
