Mr N D'Angeli v Advanced Energy Performance Limited — 2024

The case was determined on a Rule 21 basis because the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. The Employment Judge decided that a determination could properly be made in accordance with rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.

The tribunal upheld the claimant's claim for unauthorised deductions from wages and ordered the respondent to pay £6,350 gross. It also upheld the claim for breach of contract in respect of notice and awarded £2,650 gross damages.

The tribunal found that the claimant had been dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a redundancy payment of £2,284 gross. The judgment states that this was calculated on the basis that the claimant was 32 years old when made redundant and had worked for the respondent for four years.

The tribunal further found that the respondent had failed to pay the claimant's holiday entitlement and ordered payment of £1,410.64 net. The total sum payable was £12,694.64, and the claimant was directed to account to HMRC for any sums owed in respect of amounts received from the respondent under the judgment.
