Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent did not present a response to the claim. The claimant provided further information by correspondence and the tribunal was satisfied that the claim for redundancy payment could be properly determined under rule 22. The claim was found to be well founded.
Facts
The claimant was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited. The claimant filed a claim for statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to present any response within the required time limit. The claimant provided further information by correspondence to enable the tribunal to determine the claim on the papers.
Decision
The tribunal made a default judgment under rule 22 in favour of the claimant as no response was filed. The claim for redundancy payment was well founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £2,100 calculated in accordance with the statutory formula under section 162 ERA 1996.
Practical note
Where an employer fails to defend a redundancy payment claim, tribunals will make a default judgment on the papers if the claimant provides sufficient information to calculate the statutory entitlement.
