Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. The tribunal determined the claim on the papers under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024, finding the claim for redundancy payment well founded based on the claimant's further information provided by correspondence.
Facts
The claimant was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited and brought a claim for a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. The claimant provided further information to the tribunal by correspondence to enable determination of the redundancy payment claim.
Decision
The tribunal awarded a default judgment in favour of the claimant under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024. The claim for redundancy payment was found to be well founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £1,660.92 calculated in accordance with section 162 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to engage with tribunal proceedings and does not file a response, the tribunal can make a default judgment on the papers awarding statutory redundancy payments based on the claimant's evidence alone.
