Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined the claim for redundancy payment was well founded under Employment Rights Act 1996 section 135. The respondent failed to present a response to the claim, and the claimant provided sufficient information for the tribunal to make a determination under rule 22.
Facts
Mr Thomas was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited. The respondent failed to pay the statutory redundancy payment owed. Mr Thomas brought a claim to the employment tribunal for the redundancy payment.
Decision
The respondent did not file a response to the claim. The tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024, awarding the claimant £1,400 in statutory redundancy pay calculated under section 162 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Practical note
Employers who fail to respond to tribunal claims face default judgments where the tribunal will determine the claim based on the claimant's evidence alone.
