Claimant v Mainline Security Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal entered judgment in default under Rule 21 as the respondent failed to present a response within the time limit. The claimant's claim for unauthorised deduction from wages was upheld.
The tribunal made a declaration that the respondent failed to provide itemised pay statements as required under section 8 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. This was determined as part of the default judgment process.
Facts
The claimant brought claims for unlawful deduction from wages and failure to provide itemised pay statements against Mainline Security Ltd. The respondent failed to present a response within the relevant time limit, resulting in a default judgment being entered under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
Decision
The tribunal entered judgment in default for the claimant. The respondent was ordered to pay £351.00 gross for unauthorised deduction from wages and a declaration was made that the respondent failed to provide itemised pay statements as required under section 8 ERA 1996. The scheduled hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
Default judgments under Rule 21 can be entered where a respondent fails to respond, resulting in claims being determined on paper without a full hearing.
