Claimant v BMGR Group Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in the net amount of £2,405.26. The respondent failed to attend the hearing to contest the claim, and the tribunal proceeded in their absence under Rule 22(2), finding in favour of the claimant.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deduction from wages in the net amount of £2,405.26 against his former employer BMGR Group Limited. A Rule 22(2) order was made on 16 March 2025. The respondent failed to attend or be represented at the full merits hearing held remotely on 26 June 2025. The claimant appeared in person.
Decision
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from wages in the amount of £2,405.26 (net). Given the respondent's failure to participate in proceedings, the tribunal ordered the full amount to be paid to the claimant forthwith.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims or attend hearings risk default judgments being entered against them, with the tribunal accepting the claimant's evidence unopposed.
