Mr A Walsh v R & M Consultancy Ltd: 2405068/2022
JUDGMENT
The response is struck out.REASONS
[1]By orders sent to the parties on 20 October 2022 and then to the respondent’s new registered office on 14 November 2022 the Tribunal gave the respondent an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the response should not be struck out because the respondent had not complied with the case management order dated 29 September 2022 and the response had not been actively pursued.[2]The respondent has failed to make representations in writing why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The response is therefore struck out.[3]The respondent will be entitled to notice of any hearings and decisions of the Tribunal but will only be entitled to participate in any hearing to the extent permitted by the Employment Judge.[1]The response was struck out by order made on 5 December 2022. The effect therefore is as if no response was filed on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim in accordance with rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant's wages in respect of his pay for April 2022 , and is ordered to pay the claimant the sum of £476.15. This is a net sum from which tax and national insurance has been deducted, and should therefore be paid to the claimant without further deduction.[3]The hearing listed for 16 December 2022 is cancelled.
