Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent did not present a response to the claim. The tribunal determined the claim on the papers pursuant to rule 22 based on further information provided by the claimant. The claim for a statutory redundancy payment was found to be well founded.
Facts
Mr D Crane brought a claim for statutory redundancy payment against Total Home Delivery Limited. The claim form was properly sent to the respondent in accordance with tribunal rules. The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. The claimant provided further information by correspondence to the tribunal.
Decision
The tribunal made a rule 22 default judgment in favour of the claimant on the papers. The claim for a statutory redundancy payment under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was found to be well founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £4,903.88 within 14 days, calculated in accordance with section 162 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Practical note
A properly pursued redundancy payment claim will succeed by default judgment under rule 22 where the respondent fails to enter a response and the claimant provides sufficient information to the tribunal.
