Mr A Thornhill v Ahearne Personnel Ltd: 3311818/2020
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 the sum of £1326.90. This is a gross sum and the Claimant is responsible for tax and national insurance.REASONS
A response was not received by 1 December 2020 and further correspondence took place. By email of 31 January 2021, the Claimant quantified his claim. By email of 4 March 2021, the respondent purported to submit a response. However, as per the decision of EJ Lewis – communicated to parties on 21 March 2021 – the response was not on the required form and the application for extension of time would not be considered until a valid form was submitted. The Respondent was also given permission to file additional reasons for granting extension of time. By email of 26 March 2021, the Respondent stated that it was going to post the form, but no such form (or additional reasons for granting extension of time) have been received. In these circumstances, I am satisfied that it is appropriate to issue this judgment.
