Claimant v Cutting Edge Precision Engineering Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment as the respondent was in administration and had failed to pay. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim.
The tribunal found the claimant was entitled to payment for holiday accrued but untaken at the date of termination. The respondent did not attend to contest the claim.
Facts
The claimant was an employee of Cutting Edge Precision Engineering Limited, which entered administration. The claimant brought claims for redundancy payment and accrued but untaken holiday pay. The respondent company was in administration and did not attend the hearing to contest the claims.
Decision
The tribunal allowed both claims. The respondent was ordered to pay £10,609.50 in redundancy pay and £1,891.26 in holiday pay, totalling £12,500.76. The judgment was delivered orally with the respondent absent.
Practical note
Employees can successfully pursue claims for statutory redundancy and holiday pay against companies in administration through default judgments when the respondent fails to participate.
