Case Summary

The claimant claimed an unauthorised deduction from wages against the respondent, a glazing trader. The respondent failed to present a response and the tribunal issued judgment under Rule 22, ordering the respondent to pay £7,492 in net wages. The tribunal declined to award compensation for mental anguish as it lacks jurisdiction to award such damages in wage deduction claims.

Why this outcome?

Default — respondent did not respond

The respondent failed to present a response to the claim, and the tribunal decided the claim on the available material under Rule 22. The tribunal found the respondent made an unauthorised deduction from wages and ordered repayment, but declined to award compensation for mental anguish as the tribunal has no power to award such damages in wage deduction claims.
