No submissions were received from the respondents, and on the basis of what was said by the claimant’s agent in relation to an error in providing information about the claimant’ claims, the tribunal was satisfied that it was in the interests of justice to reconsider the Rule 21 Judgment, and to issue a judgement awarding damages for breach of contract, and a redundancy payment based 20 on the correct calculation of the sums claimed. 35
