Mr J Baldwin v Chafer Construction Services Ltd: 1801616/2024
JUDGMENT
[1]The name of the respondent is amended as above.[2]The respondent shall pay to the claimant £150 in respect of holiday leave which was outstanding at the termination of his employment.[3]The respondent shall pay to the claimant damages of £940 net in respect of the breach of the contract by the respondent in failing to terminate the contract with two weeks’ notice.REASONS
[1]The claim had been served at the registered address of the above company. It had initially been rejected because the claimant had named his employer as Dan Chafer, which was a different name to that on the ACAS early conciliation certificate which was Chafer Construction Ltd.[2]The claim was accepted on reconsideration, because the claimant clarified that it was the name on the certificate which was correct.[3]The respondent did not present a response in time nor attend this hearing.[4]The claimant was asked by the Tribunal to quantify his claim. He did this by letter of 21 August 2024.[5]The claimant was asked to clarify the name of his employer as the only company of this name was Chafer Construction Services Ltd. It is at the registered address of the company the claimant had named. The claimant did not reply. Case No. 1801616/2024[6]Neither party attended the hearing. Having considered all the documents before the Tribunal, the Tribunal was satisfied that the named respondent was a minor error which should be corrected by amendment.[7]The details of the claims having been quantified, it was in the interests of justice to enter judgment in those amounts, as the respondent has taken no active part in these proceedings to contest them.
