Facts
Mrs Schmidt brought claims for breach of contract and statutory redundancy payment against her former employer Terence Andrew Ltd. The respondent failed to attend the final hearing. The claimant appeared in person to pursue her claims.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded in the claimant's favour. The tribunal awarded £2,352.00 for breach of contract (notice pay) and £4,900.00 for statutory redundancy payment, totalling £7,252.00 to be paid by 1 September 2025.
Practical note
When a respondent fails to attend a final hearing, a tribunal can still find in favour of the claimant on the evidence presented and make monetary awards.
