Miss A Hitchen Miss T Sellars Miss N Holden v Brookhouse Assets Limited — 2023

The respondent did not present a valid response on time, so the Employment Judge entered judgment under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment states that the claims could properly be determined on that basis and that the awards were expressed as gross sums, with possible tax deductions to be accounted for before payment.

For Miss A Hitchen, the tribunal awarded £4,560 for dismissal in breach of contract in respect of notice, calculated by reference to weekly pay of £380 and 12 weeks' statutory notice. It also found that she was dismissed by reason of redundancy and awarded a redundancy payment of £9,690.

For Miss T Sellars, the tribunal awarded £1,254 for notice pay damages and a further £1,254 as a redundancy payment. For Miss N Holden, the tribunal awarded £1,688.05 for notice pay damages and the same amount as a redundancy payment. The judgment also includes an interest notice under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, stating that unpaid sums may carry interest at 8% from 12 September 2023 if not paid within 14 days after the relevant decision day.
