Claimant v Terence Andrew Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by way of redundancy and was entitled to notice pay. The respondent failed to attend to defend the claim and the tribunal found the claim well-founded.
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by way of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment under section 135 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The respondent failed to attend and did not defend the claim.
Facts
The claimant Mrs Neressa Poole was dismissed by way of redundancy by Terence Andrew Limited. The respondent failed to pay the claimant's notice pay or statutory redundancy payment. The respondent did not appear at the tribunal hearing and was not represented.
Decision
The tribunal found both claims well-founded and ordered the respondent to pay notice pay of £6,984.00 and a statutory redundancy payment of £14,841.00, totalling £21,825.00. The respondent's non-attendance meant the claims were uncontested.
Practical note
Where an employer fails to attend or defend a claim for redundancy and notice pay, the tribunal will find in favour of the claimant if the claims are properly established.
