Claimant v Chemcem Scotland Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. As the respondent failed to present a response under Rule 22, the tribunal issued judgment on the available material awarding the claimant the statutory redundancy payment to which he was entitled.
Facts
Mr Croll was dismissed by reason of redundancy by Chemcem Scotland Ltd. His gross weekly pay was £487.00 and his length of service entitled him to 28.5 weeks' statutory redundancy payment. The respondent failed to present a response to the claim.
Decision
Under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the Employment Judge issued a default judgment on the papers without a hearing, awarding the claimant £13,879.50 in statutory redundancy pay based on the available material.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to present a response, a tribunal may issue a default judgment under Rule 22 awarding statutory redundancy payments based solely on the claimant's claim form and available documentation.
