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 21 in favour of the claimant.
Facts
The claimant, Miss Y T Lai, was dismissed by reason of redundancy by Dermal Diagnostics Limited. She filed a claim in the Midlands East Employment Tribunal on 10 December 2024. The respondent failed to present a valid response on time.
Decision
The Employment Judge determined the claim under rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure, awarding the claimant a redundancy payment of £1,141.52. The decision was made on papers without a hearing due to the respondent's failure to respond.
