Claimant v Ceir PG Cars Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unfair dismissal was well-founded and that the claimant was unfairly dismissed. The respondent did not attend to defend the claim. The tribunal awarded both basic and compensatory awards indicating the dismissal was procedurally and substantively unfair.
The tribunal found the complaint of breach of contract in relation to notice pay was well-founded. The respondent failed to provide the claimant with proper notice pay during termination, entitling the claimant to damages equivalent to 5 weeks' notice pay.
Facts
Mr Roberts brought claims against his former employer, Ceir PG Cars Limited, a car dealership. The respondent failed to attend the hearing. The claimant was dismissed without proper process and was not provided with a written statement of employment particulars as required by law. The claimant was also not given proper notice pay.
Decision
The tribunal found in favour of the claimant on all claims. The dismissal was unfair, the respondent breached contract by failing to provide notice pay, and failed to provide written employment particulars. Total awards amounted to £31,116.80 including basic and compensatory awards, notice pay, and a penalty for failure to provide written particulars.
Practical note
Employers who fail to defend claims and have not provided basic employment documentation or followed proper dismissal procedures will face substantial awards even in cases involving relatively modest weekly pay levels.
