Employment Tribunals

Case Number 2501024/18 1 THE EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant Respondent Ms J Crake Computershare Limited EMPLOYMENT JUDGE GARNON MADE AT NORTH SHIELDS ON 25th June 2018 JUDGMENT (Liability Only ) Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 –Rule 21 1. The name of the respondent is amended to that shown above without the need for re-service. 2. The claim of unlawful deduction of wages is well founded. 3. The Hearing listed for 20th July 2018 will remain as fixed to decide remedy at which the respondent may attend to be heard on remedy only. REASONS 1. The claim was served on 24th May 2018. A limited company may use a trading name. The claim form names “ Computershare” without the word “Limited “. Its website shows “Computershare” is the trading name of “Computershare Limited “. A minor amendment to the respondent’s name without the need for re-service in my view does no injustice . 2. A claim may be validly served on a limited company either at its registered office or its place of business. Its website shows the address upon which service was effected is its local place of business. 3. A response was due by 21st June 2018 but none was received. I am required by rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 to decide on the available material whether a determination can be made and , if so, obliged to issue a judgment which may determine liability only or liability and remedy. 4. I have in the claim form sufficient information to enable me to find the claim proved on a balance of probability but not enough to determine the sums to be awarded. Case Number 2501024/18 2 5. The law of unlawful deduction of wages is in Part 2 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 ( the Act). ------------------------------------------------ TM Garnon Employment Judge Date signed 25th June 2018 .
