Respondent failed to defend the claim by not filing an ET3. Tribunal determined on papers under rule 22 that respondent failed to pay 12 weeks statutory notice pay based on information provided in the ET1.
Facts
The claimant was employed by Smart Bhelpoori House Limited at a weekly gross pay of £323.84 with a 12 week notice period. The employment ended and the claimant was entitled to statutory redundancy pay and notice pay. The respondent failed to pay either sum.
Decision
The respondent failed to file an ET3 response within the deadline. Employment Judge Snelson determined the claims under rule 22 without a hearing based on the ET1 and information provided by the claimant. The tribunal awarded £9,715.20 redundancy pay and £3,886.08 notice pay.
Practical note
Default judgments under rule 22 can be made on the papers where a respondent fails to defend a claim and the tribunal is satisfied the claims are properly made out on the ET1.
