Claimant v Car Parts (GB) Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and is entitled to a statutory redundancy payment. The respondent did not participate in the proceedings.
Facts
Mr Rolfe was dismissed by Car Parts (GB) Ltd by reason of redundancy. The respondent did not participate in the tribunal proceedings. This was a Rule 22 default judgment where the tribunal determined the claim on the papers without a hearing.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claimant was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £6,253.50. The judgment was made under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024, indicating the respondent failed to respond to the claim.
Practical note
Where a respondent fails to participate in redundancy pay proceedings, the tribunal may issue a default judgment awarding the statutory entitlement based on the claimant's case alone.
