Claimant v Battle Hospitality Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and judgment was entered under rule 21.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent did not defend the claim having failed to submit a response.
Facts
The claimant brought claims for unlawful deduction of wages and redundancy pay against her former employer, a hospitality company. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the time limit. The claim was filed on 4 November 2024 in the East Midlands Employment Tribunal.
Decision
The Employment Judge entered judgment in default under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure. The tribunal found the respondent liable for unauthorised wage deductions of £456.76 and a redundancy payment of £1,033.72, awarding a total of £1,490.48.
Practical note
Default judgments under rule 21 are entered when respondents fail to submit timely responses, and tribunals can determine monetary claims on the papers without a hearing.
