Claimant v Complete Mailings Limited (in Creditors Voluntary Liquidation)
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was not an employee of the first respondent. Without employee status, the claimant had no entitlement to a statutory redundancy payment.
Facts
Mr Boon brought a claim for redundancy payment against Complete Mailings Limited, which was in creditors voluntary liquidation. The Secretary of State for Business and Trade was joined as second respondent. The first respondent did not attend the hearing. The central issue was whether Mr Boon had employee status with the first respondent.
Decision
The tribunal found that Mr Boon was not an employee of Complete Mailings Limited. As a result, his claim for a redundancy payment failed and was dismissed.
Practical note
Employment status is a prerequisite to statutory redundancy entitlement; without proving employee status, a claim for redundancy payment cannot succeed.
