Decision
The Employment Judge made a determination under rule 21 in favour of the claimant on all claims, awarding £494.00 for unauthorised deductions, £5122.60 notice pay, and £7410.00 redundancy pay, totalling £13026.60.

Default judgments under rule 21 allow tribunals to determine claims on papers where respondents fail to respond, particularly important in insolvency cases where recovery may need to be pursued through government schemes.
