Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The 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 redundancy payment claim was found to be well founded and calculated in accordance with section 162 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Facts
Mr Wilson was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited. He 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 a determination.
Decision
The tribunal determined the claim on papers under rule 22 as the respondent had not filed a response. The redundancy payment claim was found well founded and the respondent was ordered to pay £8,400 calculated in accordance with the statutory formula.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to file a response, the tribunal can make a default judgment on papers based on information provided by the claimant, without requiring a hearing.
