Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for unpaid wages, unauthorised deductions, unpaid holiday pay, and unpaid notice pay against La Cappucinosa Limited. The respondent failed to attend or respond to the claim. In default of the respondent's response, the tribunal awarded the claimant £5,479.27 comprising unpaid wages, unauthorised deductions, holiday pay, and notice pay.

Why this outcome?

Default — respondent did not respond

The claim succeeded in default because the respondent failed to attend the hearing or submit a response to the claim, resulting in judgment being entered against the respondent for the unpaid wages, deductions, holiday pay and notice pay claimed.
