Claimant v BM Care Management Solutions
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages. The claim succeeded in the respondent's absence.
Facts
The claimant, Mr M Munawa, brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against his employer, BM Care Management Solutions. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time to the claim filed on 2 June 2024.
Decision
Employment Judge Victoria Butler made a default judgment under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure due to the respondent's failure to respond. The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £2,590.68 gross for unauthorised wage deductions.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims face default judgments, with tribunals determining claims based on the claimant's submissions alone under rule 21.
