JUDGMENT
The response is struck out.REASONS
[1]By an email dated 18 March 2025 the Tribunal gave the respondent an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the response should not be struck out because• it has not been actively pursued.[2]The respondent has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The response is therefore struck out.[3]The respondent will be entitled to notice of any hearings and decisions of the Tribunal but will only be entitled to participate in any hearing to the extent permitted by the Employment Judge. Approved by: Employment Judge Rayner 5 June 2025[4]The respondent must pay the claimant £8452.92 in total. Approved by: Employment Judge Self 5 September 2025[1]The claim was presented in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 25th September 2024. The Respondent’s response was struck out on 17th June 2025 on account of the Respondent not actively pursuing its defence. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules ofProcedure.
[2]The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and must pay the claimant £5,847.45.[3]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and must pay the claimant £1,118. The respondent must pay the claimant £6,965.45 in total.[1]On 5 September EJ Self made the Judgment set out below: The claim was presented in the Bristol Employment Tribunal on 25th September 2024. The Respondent’s response was struck out on 17th June 2025 on account of the Respondent not actively pursuing its defence. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure. The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and must pay the claimant £6965.45 gross. The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and must pay the claimant £1487.47. The respondent must pay the claimant £8452.92 in total.[2]On 13 October the Respondent’s father who has been representing the interests of the Respondent due to his illness queried the figures set out within that Judgment. That was taken as an application to reconsider the Judgment.[3]EJ Self went back over the file and in particular he looked at the Claimant’s schedule of loss that was filed at the start of 2025. Upon considering that document EJ self could see that the figures in the Judgment were in excess of the sums claimed and that the total sum was £6965.45 and that of that sum £1,118 was the holiday pay and £5,847.45 was in respect of unpaid wages.[4]In the circumstances the previous Judgment is revoked and the revised Judgment substituted as set out above.
