Claimant v Madinska & Co Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent had made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages. This was determined under Rule 22, which allows for default judgments when a respondent fails to participate in proceedings.
Facts
This is a default judgment under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deduction of wages against Madinska & Co Ltd. The respondent failed to participate in the proceedings, and the tribunal issued a judgment on the papers without a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £3,000 gross for unauthorised deduction from wages. The scheduled hearing for 5 March 2025 was cancelled as the case was resolved by default judgment.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims risk default judgments being entered against them, with the tribunal accepting the claimant's case and awarding appropriate compensation without a hearing.
