Mr S Taylor v PTM International Ltd: 3311026/2022
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21 The respondent has made an unauthorised deduction from the claimant’s wages and is ordered to pay the claimant:[1]£3307.50 as unpaid wages, and[2]£280 as overnight allowance.REASONS
[1]These are the reasons for the tribunal’s judgment of 9 March 2023, which was sent to the parties on 23 March 2023. Written reasons were requested by the respondent by email on 4 April 2023 and that request was referred to me on 20 April 2023.[2]The claimant submitted his claim on 26 August 2022. It is a claim of unlawful deductions from wages and for other payments.[3]This claim form was sent to the respondent (at the address given on the claim form: The Rectory, Canal Walk, Newbury RG14 1DY) on 6 September 2022, with a response required by 4 October 2022.[4]No response was received, and on 19 October 2022 the claimant’s solicitors submitted a schedule of loss setting out the amounts claimed. They pointed out that no response had been received and asked for a rule 21 judgment to be issued.[5]The file was referred for consideration of a rule 21 judgment. On this referral EJ Lewis directed that the claim form should be resent to the respondent’s registered office (2 Toomers Wharf, Canal Walk, Newbury RG14 1DY). That resending was done on 26 January 2023. It required a response by return and warned the respondent that a judgment may be issued if no response was received.[6]No response was received to the resent claim form. In accordance with rule 21 and the Presidential Guidance on Rule 21 Judgments I was satisfied from the claimant’s claim form and schedule of loss that I had sufficient information to issue a rule 21 judgment, and that I should do so. The judgment for the amounts Case No: 3311026/2022 claimed on the schedule of loss was prepared on 9 March 2023 and sent to the parties on 23 March 2023.
