Claimant v Mere Green Healthcare Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages and ordered payment of £125.84. This appears to be a default judgment under Rule 21/22, as the respondent did not participate and the scheduled hearing was cancelled.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deduction from wages against Mere Green Healthcare Limited. The respondent did not participate in the proceedings. The case was determined on the papers under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024.
Decision
Employment Judge M Butler found in favour of the claimant and ordered the respondent to pay £125.84 gross for unauthorised deduction from wages. The scheduled hearing on 29 January 2025 was cancelled as the matter was determined on the papers.
Practical note
Rule 21/22 default judgments can resolve straightforward wage deduction claims efficiently without a hearing when respondents fail to participate.
