L Thomas v British Heart Foundation: 6002821/2024
JUDGMENT
Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 – Rule 21[1]The claim was issued in the London South Employment Tribunals on 24 May 2024. The respondent has failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge has decided that a determination can properly be made of the claim, or part of it, in accordance with rule 21 of the Rules of Procedure.[2]The claimant was unfairly dismissed for making a protected disclosure pursuant to section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996.[3]The respondent is ordered to pay the claimant a compensatory award of £2,358, which has been calculated as follows: The effective date of termination was 15/04/2024. The claimant started a new job on 03/06/2024. 7 weeks’ net loss of wages (16/04/2024 – 02/06/2024) = 7 x £393 = £2,751 (less 1 week’s pay in lieu of notice - £393) Total compensatory award = £2,358[4]The total sum due to the claimant is therefore £2,358. The respondent is ordered to pay the sum due to the claimant on or before 17 October 2024.
