JUDGMENT

Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The respondent has failed to file an ET3 Grounds of Resistance in this case.[2]Having considered the ET1, REJ Wade has decided that a determination of the claim can properly be made without a hearing and the Judgment of the Tribunal, made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, is as set out below.[3]The respondent has failed to pay wages (including SSP) and holiday pay to the claimant and the tribunal orders the respondent to pay the claimant the sum of £3,500 to account to HMRC for any tax and national insurance due.[4]The hearing listed on 29 July 2021 will not take place. Regional Employment Judge Wade Date: 28 July 2021

REASONS

When judgment was given the tribunal understood that the respondent had not filed its ET3 defence. In fact that defence was correctly filed on 5 July 2021 but not referred to a judge and the judgement under Rule 21 against the respondent should not have been made. It is therefore revoked.
