Claimant v Crash 2000.com Limited (in voluntary liquidation)
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The tribunal determined the claim under rule 21 and awarded the statutory redundancy payment claimed.
Facts
Mr Bale was dismissed by reason of redundancy from Crash 2000.com Limited. The company entered voluntary liquidation. The claimant filed his claim on 28 January 2025 in the South East Employment Tribunal. The respondent failed to present a valid ET3 response on time.
Decision
The Employment Judge issued a default judgment under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, awarding the claimant his statutory redundancy payment of £8,503.80 without a hearing.
Practical note
Where a respondent company in liquidation fails to file an ET3, the tribunal can determine claims for statutory payments such as redundancy pay on paper under rule 21 without the need for a hearing.
