Miss N Cavanagh v C Whitley: 1600335/2023
JUDGMENT
In the absence of an ET3 response from the respondents, and there being sufficient material before me to enable a proper determination to be made, I uphold the following claim: The Claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy by the Respondent, Mrs C Whitley t/a Plassey Hair Studio on 23 September 2022. She is therefore entitled to a statutory redundancy payment from the Respondent, calculated at 27 years i.e. £11,531.03. I act in accordance with my powers under Rule 21 of the Employment Tribunal’s Rules of Procedure 2013.REASONS
[1]The claim was served on the respondents on the trading address given for the First Respondent and at the address provided by the Claimant for the Second Respondent.[2]A response was due by 18 July 2023 but none was received.[3]An Employment Judge is required by rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 to decide on the available material whether a determination can be made and , if so, obliged to issue a judgment which may determine liability only or liability and remedy.[4]I have in the claim form sufficient to enable me to find the claim for a redundancy payment proved on a balance of probability against the Case Number: 1600335 / 2023 respondents and the amount claimed in particular the Confirmation of Entitlements document provided to the Claimant by the Respondent.[5]The Respondent may submit an application for reconsideration and a draft response within 14 days of the date upon which this judgment is sent to the parties.
