Facts
Ms Zamora Marquez brought claims against two respondents: Dublcheck Cleaning Services Ltd and AD Super Ltd. The claim was filed on 20 November 2023. The First Respondent failed to present a valid response on time, while the Second Respondent was represented at the hearing by its owner.
Decision
The tribunal entered judgment for the claimant against the First Respondent under Rule 21 on all three claims (unfair dismissal, unlawful deductions from wages, and holiday pay) due to the First Respondent's failure to respond. Remedy will be determined at a final hearing scheduled for 8 and 9 May 2025.
Practical note
A respondent's failure to file a timely response results in automatic judgment for the claimant under Rule 21, though quantum still requires determination at a remedy hearing.
