The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and under rule 21 the tribunal determined the claim on the papers and awarded the redundancy payment claimed.
Facts
Mrs Cole was dismissed by Butterfly Bloom Ltd by reason of redundancy. She presented a claim to the East London Employment Tribunal on 15 July 2025. The respondent company failed to present a valid response within the required time limit.
Decision
Regional Employment Judge Burgher made a determination under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the papers. The tribunal found the claimant entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £723.58 and cancelled the listed hearing.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to defend a claim, a tribunal can make a default judgment under rule 21, awarding the remedy claimed without a hearing.
