Mr C Amos v Medway Soft Drinks Ltd (in CVL): 6010155/2024
JUDGMENT
[1]The hearing continues in the absence of the parties under Rule 47 Employment Tribinal Procedure Rules 2024. Before making that decision, the Employment Judge was satisfied that:- 1.1. The respondent is in liquidation and was unlikely to attend in any event. 1.2. The claimant attempted to attend but had technical difficulties, meaning that dismissal under this rule was not appropriate. 1.3. The claim is for redundancy pay only, with no discretion as to the award because it is a statutory award calculation using only the information which was available in the hearing from the claim form.[2]The claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy on 26 February 2024. At the time of his dismissal, he:- 2.1. Was 57 years’ old; 2.2. Had 15 complete years of service for the respondent; and 2.3. Was paid £285 per week. 1 of 2 Case Number: 6010155/2024[3]Consequently, the claimant is entitled to a redundancy payment in the sum of £6,412.50. That is the total amount the respondent must pay to the claimant. Approved by:
