Miss S Abell v Coversale Limited t/a Croma Restaurant — 2022

This document is a Rule 21 judgment and case management order in Miss S Abell v Coversale Limited t/a Croma Restaurant. It records that the time for presenting a response had expired and that no valid response to the claim had been presented within the prescribed time limit, or accepted out of time. The tribunal therefore held that the respondent was not entitled to respond to the claimant's complaint, or to participate in the proceedings except to the extent permitted by the Employment Judge.

The order did not determine liability. Instead, it listed the matter for a final hearing before an Employment Judge sitting alone at Manchester Employment Tribunal on 20 July 2022. Note 1 states that the respondent had not responded to the claimant's only claim of unfair dismissal, but that the claim was in fact constructive dismissal and still had to be proved by the claimant.

The tribunal also made directions for the progress of the case, including an application deadline if the claimant wished to amend to include unlawful deductions from wages, disclosure of documents, a remedy statement setting out the compensation sought for unfair dismissal, and preparation of witness evidence and a hearing bundle. No monetary award was made in this judgment.
