Claimant v Darren Kennith Villiers Dee Vee Logistic
Outcome
Individual claims
The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. The tribunal proceeded under Rule 22 on the available material and issued a default judgment awarding statutory redundancy pay based on 27 weeks at £475.00 gross weekly wage.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for statutory redundancy pay against his former employer, Dee Vee Logistic. The respondent failed to present a response to the claim. Neither party attended the final hearing scheduled for 6 January 2025, with the claimant having notified the tribunal by email on 29 December 2024 that he would not attend. The tribunal proceeded in the parties' absence under Rule 47.
Decision
The tribunal issued a default judgment under Rule 22 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, awarding the claimant statutory redundancy pay. The award was calculated as 27 weeks multiplied by the gross weekly wage of £475.00, totalling £12,825.00.
Practical note
Default judgments under Rule 22 can be issued where no response has been presented, and the tribunal will calculate statutory redundancy pay based on the available material regarding weekly pay and length of service.
