Claimant v Total Home Delivery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent did not present a response to the claim. The tribunal determined under Rule 22 that the claim for a redundancy payment was well founded based on the claimant's correspondence and information provided. The statutory redundancy payment of £4,200 was calculated in accordance with ERA 1996 section 162.
Facts
Mr Dworacynski was made redundant by Total Home Delivery Limited. The respondent failed to pay him his statutory redundancy payment. He brought a claim to the employment tribunal for the outstanding redundancy payment. The respondent did not file a response to the claim.
Decision
The tribunal issued a default judgment under Rule 22 in favour of the claimant, finding his claim for redundancy payment well founded. Based on the claimant's evidence provided by correspondence, the tribunal ordered the respondent to pay £4,200 statutory redundancy payment calculated in accordance with ERA 1996 section 162.
Practical note
When an employer fails to respond to a tribunal claim, a Rule 22 default judgment can be issued based on the claimant's evidence alone, particularly for straightforward statutory claims like redundancy payments.
