[1]By way of a claim form issued on 4 May 2019, the claimant made complaints of unauthorised deduction of wages and holiday pay arising out of his dismissal on 9 March 2018. Although the tribunal had recorded this as a public interest disclosure case, the claimant accepted that the reason for his dismissal was as he stated in his ET1, that the Director of the respondent had “intentionally closed the business to clear off all the company debts, including salaries”.[2]Rule 21 judgment had been entered against the respondent on 20 January 2020. The proceedings have been served both on the registered office of the respondent and on the correspondence address of the Director, Mr Zar. No response was received however. Case Number: 3314500/2019 2[3]The claimant told me that he was owed wages of £764 and holiday pay of £760 making a total of £1,524. I accepted the claimant’s evidence in this respect and gave judgment for this figure.
