Mr Callum French v Corinthian Access Limited (In Receivership) — 2024

The tribunal dealt with the claim under rule 21 after the respondent failed to present a valid response on time and did not attend. Employment Judge S Moore determined that a decision could properly be made on the papers. The judgment records that the claim was issued on 9 March 2024 and heard by video on 13 September 2024.

On the merits, the tribunal found that the respondent had made unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered payment of £500 gross. It also found that the claimant was dismissed in breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £3,000 in damages. The judgment states that this figure was calculated using gross pay to reflect the likelihood that the claimant would have to pay tax on it as Post Employment Notice Pay.

The tribunal further found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £1,750. It also found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant’s holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £290 gross. The total payable under the judgment was £5,540.
