JUDGMENT

[1]The response is struck out.[2]The complaint of unauthorised deduction from wages succeeds.[3]The respondent is to pay the sum of £599.78 to the claimant forthwith.

REASONS

[1]By a letter dated 11 September 2020 the Tribunal gave the respondent an opportunity to make representations as to why the response should not be struck out because the respondent had not complied with the Order of the Tribunal dated 6 August 2020 (Order 2.)[2]The respondent has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, as to why this should not be done. The response is therefore struck out.[3]The respondent has admitted that, in principle, it owes wages to the claimant, but has failed, contrary to the Tribunal’s Order, to provide any proof that it was entitled, in law, to make the deduction (by non-payment).
