Mr J Munoz v McGuire Building Services Ltd: 2303564/2021
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The respondent has failed to file ET3 grounds of resistance in this case.[2]Neither the claimant nor the respondent attended the hearing on 13th June 2022.[3]Attempts were made to contact the claimant’s representative by telephone and e-mail and to contact the claimant by email. No response was received. There was no e-mail address or telephone number on file for the respondent so it was not possible to make attempts to contact them.[4]Having considered the ET1, I have decided that a determination of the claim could properly have been made without a hearing.[5]In circumstances where a hearing was scheduled, but a determination of the claim could probably have been made without a hearing, the Judgment of the Tribunal made under rule 21 is that the claimant’s claim of an unlawful deduction from wages in respect of earnings due for work between 4th May 2021 and 14th May 2021 is well founded.[6]Pursuant to section 24 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant the gross sum of £720.
