Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure and found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages.
Facts
Mr Eyeta brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against Victory Locum Limited, a company operating in the healthcare locum sector. The claim was filed on 13 June 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time limit.
Decision
The Employment Judge determined the claim on the papers under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, which applies when a respondent fails to enter a response. The Judge found in favour of the claimant and awarded £1000.00 gross for unauthorised deductions from wages.
Practical note
Default judgments under rule 21 can be made on the papers where a respondent fails to enter a response, and the tribunal will determine what remedy is appropriate based on the claim form.
