Claimant v Harriot Bars Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Under rule 21, the tribunal proceeded to determine the claim on the papers. The tribunal found that the respondent failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and awarded the full amount claimed.
Facts
L Jones brought a claim against Harriot Bars Ltd for unpaid holiday pay. The claim was filed on 14 January 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time limit, triggering the rule 21 default judgment procedure.
Decision
Employment Judge Cadney determined the claim on the papers under rule 21 after the respondent's failure to respond. The tribunal found in favour of the claimant and awarded £1,587 representing unpaid holiday entitlement.
Practical note
Respondents who fail to file a timely ET3 response face default judgment, allowing tribunals to determine claims on the papers without a hearing.
