Claimant v RPS Lincolnshire Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time, and the tribunal determined the claim under rule 22 on the papers.
Facts
Mrs Leach was dismissed by reason of redundancy from her employment with RPS Lincolnshire Limited. She presented her claim to the tribunal on 22 October 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response within the required time limit.
Decision
The Employment Judge determined the claim on the papers under rule 22 due to the respondent's failure to respond. The tribunal awarded the claimant a redundancy payment of £3,060.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to file a valid ET3 response on time, the tribunal can issue a default judgment under rule 22 without a hearing, awarding the claimant their statutory redundancy entitlement.
