Claimant v Proud Group Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to file a valid ET3 response form as it did not include an address despite being given multiple opportunities. Under rule 21, the claim was determined in the claimant's favour by default. The claimant provided evidence via payslip showing he worked 61 hours at £13 per hour up to 10 July 2024 and was owed £849.31.
The claimant initially claimed outstanding holiday pay but confirmed he only worked until 10 July 2024 and did not work beyond that date. The tribunal awarded only the unpaid wages amount of £849.31 shown on the payslip, with no separate holiday pay award made.
Facts
The claimant worked for the respondent on a zero hours contract from 13 June to 10 July 2024, working 61 hours at £13 per hour. He was not paid £849.31 in wages as shown on his payslip. The respondent entered voluntary liquidation and its liquidator repeatedly failed to file a valid ET3 response form because no address was included despite multiple opportunities to correct this defect.
Decision
The tribunal found the respondent had failed to file a valid response and determined the claim in the claimant's favour under rule 21. The claimant was awarded £849.31 in unpaid wages based on his payslip evidence showing 61 hours worked at £13 per hour.
Practical note
A liquidator acting for an insolvent respondent must still comply with basic procedural requirements including providing an address on the ET3 form, or face a default judgment under rule 21.
