The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Under Rule 21, the tribunal determined that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from the claimant's wages and awarded the full amount claimed.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for unauthorised deductions from wages against Fast Despatch Logistics Ltd. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the time limit. The judgment was made on the papers under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
Decision
Employment Judge Tynan issued a default judgment in favour of the claimant under Rule 21. The tribunal found that the respondent made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £965.12 gross to the claimant.
