Claimant v Mr Connor Stephen Cross
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal determined that it was just and equitable to extend time and that the claimant was entitled to a redundancy payment. The respondent did not participate in the proceedings and judgment was made under Rule 22 (default judgment).
Facts
The claimant Janet Taylor brought a claim for redundancy payment against her former employer, an individual respondent. The claim was filed on 13 September 2024, outside the ordinary time limit. The respondent did not participate in the proceedings.
Decision
The tribunal determined it was just and equitable to extend time for the claim and made a default judgment under Rule 22. The claimant was awarded £2,297.61 in statutory redundancy pay.
Practical note
A default judgment may be entered where a respondent fails to participate, and tribunals may extend time for redundancy claims where just and equitable to do so.
