Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. The tribunal considered the claimant's further written information and determined the redundancy payment claim was well founded under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, with a statutory redundancy payment calculated under section 162.
Facts
Mrs Howard brought a claim for a statutory redundancy payment against Total Home Delivery Limited. The respondent did not file a response to the claim. The claimant provided further written information to the tribunal to enable a determination of her redundancy payment entitlement.
Decision
The tribunal determined the claim on the papers under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024 after the respondent's failure to respond. The redundancy payment claim was found to be well founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £6,413 calculated in accordance with the statutory formula.
Practical note
A default judgment under rule 22 can be entered where a respondent fails to respond, with the tribunal determining quantum based on the claimant's written evidence alone.
