JUDGMENT

The response is struck out.

REASONS

[1]By a letter dated 23 June 2025 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 Order of the Tribunal dated 8 January 2025 and the response has not been actively pursued.[2]The respondent has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, 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. Approved by Employment Judge Anstis 3 September 2025[1]The respondent has made unauthorised deductions from the claimant’s wages and must pay the claimant £46,333.24.[2]The respondent must pay the claimant £20,552.27 in compensation for breach of contract.[3]The respondent has failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and must pay the claimant £3,840.00.[4]The claimant was unfairly dismissed and the respondent must pay to the claimant a basic award of £8,400 and a compensatory award of £22,500.[5]The recoupment regulations do not apply.
