Claimant v Lynher Construction Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. 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.
Facts
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy by Lynher Construction Limited. A claim for a statutory redundancy payment was presented to the South West Employment Tribunal on 10 March 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time limit.
Decision
Employment Judge Ferguson issued a default judgment under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on 11 July 2025. The tribunal determined that the claimant is entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £2,752, which the respondent must pay.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to file a response, tribunals can determine claims on paper under Rule 21, awarding statutory redundancy payments based on the claim form alone.
