Mr P Robinson v Solo NW Ltd: 2405818/2019
JUDGMENT
[1]The respondent gave notice on 9th October 2019 that it would not be in attendance. The respondent’s request for a postponement was refused by Employment Judge Aspinall as the reason given did not amount to an exceptional circumstance within the meaning of Rule 30A of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. As a result of the respondent’s non attendance I proceeded with the hearing in accordance with Rule 47 of the same Rules.[2]The claimant’s claim for unlawful deduction from wages contrary to Section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 is upheld. The respondent must pay the claimant the gross sum of £1712.01 unlawfully deducted from his pay between 14th July 2017 and 14th February 2019.
