Outcome

Individual claims

Unfair Dismissalsucceeded

The tribunal found the claim of unfair dismissal to be well-founded under Rule 22 (default judgment procedure). The respondent failed to respond to the claim, allowing judgment to be entered in the claimant's favour.

Facts

Mr Pointon brought an unfair dismissal claim against Evri Limited. The respondent failed to file a response to the claim. Under the tribunal's default judgment procedure (Rule 22), the claim was determined on the papers without a full merits hearing.

Decision

The tribunal found the unfair dismissal claim to be well-founded and entered judgment in favour of the claimant. A separate remedy hearing was scheduled for 17 November 2025 to determine the compensation to be awarded.

Practical note

Where a respondent fails to enter a response, a tribunal can enter default judgment on liability, with quantum determined at a separate remedy hearing.
