Miss A Anton v The Car Group Ltd: 2403676/2024
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant’s application to strike out the respondent’s defence to these proceedings is well founded and succeeds.[2]The claimant’s claims are all determined to be well founded and succeed. The respondent is ordered to pay to the claimant within 28 days of the date this judgment is sent to them the following sums by way of compensation: 2.1. £768.61 for the claimant’s unlawful deduction from wages claim, in the amount of the shortfall in the claimant’s wages for the period from 8 April 2024 to 1 May 2024; 2.2. £1017.83 as compensation for lost wages arising from the claimant’s victimisation by dismissal contrary to s27 Equality Act 2010, representing 19 days’ pay at a daily rate of pay of £53.57. 2.3. Compensation for injury to feelings caused by the claimant’s victimisation by dismissal contrary to s27 Equality Act 2010, in the amount of £5,000. 2.4. When the proceedings were begun the respondent was in breach of its duty to provide the claimant with a written statement of employment particulars. There are no exceptional circumstances that make an award of an amount equal to two weeks’ gross pay unjust or inequitable. It is not just and equitable to make an award of an amount equal to four weeks’ gross pay. In accordance with section 38 Employment Act 2002 the respondent shall therefore pay the claimant £750.[3]The recoupment provisions do not apply to any part of this judgment. Approved by:
