Claimant v Network Flooring
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and is entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the tribunal proceeded to make a default judgment in the claimant's favour.
Facts
Mr Ward claimed a statutory redundancy payment from Network Flooring. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time to the claim filed on 30 May 2025 in the Midlands East Employment Tribunal.
Decision
Employment Judge Welch made a default judgment under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, determining that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarding him £3,150.00 as a statutory redundancy payment. The scheduled hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
When a respondent fails to file a valid response on time, the tribunal can make a default judgment under rule 21 without a hearing, determining claims in the claimant's favour.
