Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent did not present a response to the claim. The tribunal was able to properly determine the claim for redundancy payment under rule 22 based on further information provided by the claimant, and found the claim well founded under ERA 1996 section 135.
Facts
The claimant was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited and claimed a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to present any response to the claim. The claimant provided further information to the tribunal by correspondence to enable determination of the claim.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22 in the claimant's favour as the respondent had not presented a response. The claim for redundancy payment was found well founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £1,400 calculated in accordance with ERA 1996 section 162.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to present any response to a redundancy pay claim, the tribunal can determine the claim on the papers under rule 22 if the claimant provides sufficient information to calculate the statutory redundancy payment.
