Claimant v DAPV Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim for breach of contract in respect of unpaid employer and employee contributions was found to be well founded. The Claimant had already received payment of £979.16, so no additional award was made by the tribunal.
The claim for unlawful deductions from wages was found to be well founded. The tribunal ordered the Respondent to pay the gross sum of £10,256.54, with credit given for the net sum of £1,020.84 already received by the Claimant.
Facts
The Claimant brought claims for breach of contract relating to unpaid pension contributions and unlawful deduction of wages. The Respondent had already made partial payments towards the sums claimed. The parties reached agreement on the terms and the tribunal entered a consent judgment.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well founded by consent. The breach of contract claim required no further award as the Claimant had already received £979.16. For the unlawful deduction of wages claim, the Respondent was ordered to pay £10,256.54 gross, less the £1,020.84 net already received, with payment to be made in two instalments.
Practical note
Consent judgments allow parties to agree terms while still obtaining an enforceable tribunal order, with flexibility on payment terms and acceleration clauses for non-compliance.
