Ms J Crake v Computershare Ltd: 2501024/2018

EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS
Case No 2501024/2018
Ms J CrakeClaimantComputershare LtdRespondent
Employment Judge GarnonDate 25 June 2018

REASONS

[1]The claim was served on 24th May 2018. A limited company may use a trading name. The claim form names “ Computershare” without the word “Limited “. Its website shows “Computershare” is the trading name of “Computershare Limited “. A minor amendment to the respondent’s name without the need for re-service in my view does no injustice .[2]A claim may be validly served on a limited company either at its registered office or its place of business. Its website shows the address upon which service was effected is its local place of business.[3]A response was due by 21st June 2018 but none was received. I am required by rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 to decide on the available material whether a determination can be made and , if so, obliged to issue a judgment which may determine liability only or liability and remedy.[4]I have in the claim form sufficient information to enable me to find the claim proved on a balance of probability but not enough to determine the sums to be awarded. Case Number 2501024/18[5]The law of unlawful deduction of wages is in Part 2 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 ( the Act). TM Garnon
