Mr B Sangha v 24 Live UK Ltd: 2202280/2020
REASONS
[1]Notwithstanding my having sent joining instructions yesterday to Lindsey Oliver and to the Respondent at their email addresses, there was no attendance by or on behalf of the Respondent during the hearing today. I heard evidence from the Claimant on oath and he confirmed his ET1. His contract required him to be given one month’s notice of termination but he was summarily 2202280 2020 dismissed. There is no defence to his claims of direct discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the grounds of race or to his agenda in which he set out the amount of his claims. The above judgment is based on his gross pay of £650 per week set out in his ET1. The Claimant has not yet managed to get replacement employment but hopes to be able to do so by early next year. He has been receiving JSA and HB since February 2020. I regard it as just and equitable to award him loss of earnings until 15/1/2021 being an estimate of the loss of income he has and will suffer as a result of his discriminatory dismissal. J S Burns[3]The previous judgment signed on 23/9/2020 was set aside on application by the Respondent which however is now in administration, and is no longer defending the proceedings. On the Claimant’s application dated 17/8/22 I issued a notice on 19/8/2022 to interested parties to show cause by 2/9/22 why judgment should not be re-entered, and no such cause has been shown.
