Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
Respondent did not present a response to the claim. The tribunal determined the claim on papers under rule 22 based on further information provided by the claimant. The claim for statutory redundancy payment under ERA 1996 s.135 was well founded and awarded in full.
Facts
The claimant was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited. The respondent failed to pay the claimant his statutory redundancy payment. The respondent did not present a response to the tribunal claim. The claimant provided further information to the tribunal by correspondence.
Decision
The tribunal issued a default judgment under rule 22 as the respondent had not presented a response. The claim for statutory redundancy payment under ERA 1996 s.135 was found to be well founded. The respondent was ordered to pay £5,400 within 14 days, calculated in accordance with ERA 1996 s.162.
Practical note
Default judgments under rule 22 allow tribunals to determine claims on papers where the respondent fails to engage, particularly straightforward statutory claims like redundancy payments.
