[11]Liability and quantum in respect of the Claimant’s claims for notice pay, statutory redundancy pay and holiday pay were admitted by the Respondent and agreed by the Claimant. There are no remaining factual or legal disputes for the Tribunal to determine and the parties had been given an opportunity to make written representations.[12]The Tribunal’s function is to determine claims brought before it and, where appropriate, to issue judgments or orders reflecting liability and quantum. In those circumstances, the Tribunal was required to issue a final judgment reflecting the sums due[13]The Respondent’s ability or inability to pay does not prevent the Tribunal from doing so.[14]Accordingly, the Tribunal orders the Respondent to pay to the Claimant the sum of £17,561.25.[15]Any issues relating to enforcement of that judgment, the Respondent’s solvency, or any insolvency process fall outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction.
