Mr R Melman v City District Ltd (in administration): 2402843/2021
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The claim was issued in the Manchester Employment Tribunals on 10 April 2021. No response having been entered within the time required, the Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the unfair dismissal claim, in accordance with rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The claimant was unfairly dismissed by the respondent. Employment Judge Phil Allen Date: 7 January 2022[1]The Respondent is ordered to pay to the Claimant the following sums:1.1 £8,070 as a basic award for unfair dismissal.1.2 £80,000 as a compensatory award for unfair dismissal. The compensatory award includes an uplift of 10% for the Respondent’s failure to comply with the ACAS Code of Practice on disciplinary and grievance procedure. The award has been grossed up. (Note: The compensatory award of £80,000 differs from the figure of £90,918.40 announced orally at the hearing. This is because the compensatory award must be grossed up to allow for the payment of any tax, and the statutory cap imposed by section 124 of the Employment Rights Act is then applied. The relevant cap in this case is 52 times a week’s gross pay which is £80,000.)[2]The Recoupment Regulations do not apply. Tribunal Judge Lloyd sitting as an
