Miss T Kotey v Soho Restaurants Ltd: 2208998/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]No response to the claim has been presented. Pursuant to Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013, the claimant’s complaints for unpaid wages and unpaid accrued holiday pay succeed.[2]An award of £2,167 (gross) (being 2 weeks’ pay plus accrued holiday pay) is made, payable by the respondent to the claimant. Notes: The claim was originally brought against “Lalaland”. There had been no response from that respondent other than an email from Conor George (who was also referenced in the claim form) saying that the correct respondent was Soho Restaurants Ltd. A full merits hearing had been listed for 23 February 2023 before Employment Judge Sullivan. No one attended on behalf of the respondent. Reference at that hearing to the claimant’s contract of employment revealed that although her place of work was Lalaland, her employer was Soho Restaurants Ltd. EJ Sullivan therefore amended the name of the respondent to “Soho Restaurants Ltd” and the claim was reserved on Soho Restaurants Ltd. However, no response was received within the 28 day timeframe. In the light of that, this judgment under rule 21 is issued.
