Claimant v Maxine Davis Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined under rule 21 that the claimant is entitled to a statutory redundancy payment.
The respondent failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement. With no response filed, the tribunal accepted the claimant's claim and awarded the outstanding holiday pay.
Facts
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. She filed a claim in the East Midlands Employment Tribunal on 8 March 2025 seeking redundancy pay and unpaid holiday pay. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time.
Decision
Under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure, the Employment Judge determined the claims on the papers without a hearing. The claimant was awarded £4,304.30 in statutory redundancy pay and £573.90 in unpaid holiday pay, totalling £4,878.20.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to file a response, Employment Judges can make default judgments under rule 21, accepting the claimant's version of events and awarding appropriate statutory payments.
