Claimant v C & A Navigation Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
This is a remedy hearing following a previous liability judgment. The tribunal found the claimant was automatically unfairly dismissed and awarded a basic award and compensatory award.
The tribunal awarded injury to feelings of £9,000 plus interest, indicating a successful discrimination claim was established at the liability stage.
The tribunal awarded 4 weeks pay for failure to provide a written statement of employment particulars under section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Facts
This is a remedy hearing following an earlier liability judgment in favour of the claimant. The respondent did not attend the remedy hearing. The claimant was represented by counsel. The tribunal had previously found the claimant was automatically unfairly dismissed and had succeeded in a discrimination claim.
Decision
The tribunal awarded the claimant total compensation of £20,548.52, comprising a basic award for automatic unfair dismissal, compensatory award, injury to feelings award in the lower Vento band with interest, and an award for the respondent's failure to provide written employment particulars. The respondent did not attend to contest the remedy.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to attend a remedy hearing after losing on liability, the tribunal will proceed to calculate and award appropriate compensation based on the claimant's evidence and submissions.
