Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure, the Employment Judge determined that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and upheld the claim.
Facts
Mr D Ubochi brought a claim against Adeadin LTD for unauthorised deductions from wages. The respondent failed to present a valid response to the claim within the prescribed time limit. The tribunal proceeded to determine the claim on the papers without a hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Tynan entered default judgment in favour of the claimant under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, finding that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordering payment of £571.20 gross.
Practical note
Failure to submit a response on time can result in default judgment being entered against a respondent, with the tribunal determining the claim on the papers without the respondent's input.
