Claimant v Linkline Transport Limited (in administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure, resulting in a default judgment in favour of the claimant. The specific nature of the claim will be determined at the remedy hearing.
Facts
The claimant G Adamczak brought a claim against Linkline Transport Limited, a company in administration, in the Watford Employment Tribunal on 13 September 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time limit. The Employment Judge determined that the claim could properly be decided without a response under rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure.
Decision
The Employment Judge granted a default judgment in favour of the claimant due to the respondent's failure to file a timely response. The claim succeeded in full, with the specific remedy to be determined at a separate remedy hearing.
Practical note
A respondent's failure to file a timely response to a tribunal claim will result in a default judgment being entered against them under rule 22, even where the company is in administration.
