Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was entitled to 12 weeks' statutory notice pay. The respondent did not present a response to the claim and did not pay the claimant for their notice period. The tribunal determined the claim was well founded under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994.
The claimant's claim for a statutory redundancy payment was well founded under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 135. The respondent did not present a response. The tribunal calculated the redundancy payment in accordance with section 162 of the ERA 1996.
Facts
The claimant brought claims for breach of contract (notice pay) and statutory redundancy payment against Total Home Delivery Limited. The respondent did not present a response to the claim. The claimant was entitled to 12 weeks' statutory notice which was not paid. The claimant provided further information to the tribunal by correspondence to enable a determination.
Decision
The tribunal determined both claims in the claimant's favour under Rule 22, as the respondent failed to present a response. The tribunal awarded £7,800 net for notice pay and £21,000 for statutory redundancy payment, to be paid within 14 days.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to enter a response, tribunals can make a default judgment on the papers awarding all sums properly claimed under Rule 22.
