Mrs Alana Anderson-Krooder v Think Big Global Limited — 2025

The claimant presented a claim for a statutory redundancy payment to the Manchester Employment Tribunal on 23 March 2025. The respondent failed to present a valid response in time. Although the claim was submitted outside the time limit in section 164(1) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the Employment Judge found that the claimant had provided sufficient information to demonstrate that it would be just and equitable for her to receive a redundancy payment in accordance with sections 164(2) and 164(3), and determined the claim under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.

The tribunal found that the claimant was dismissed by reason of redundancy and was entitled to a statutory redundancy payment of £1,087.50, calculated as one week's pay for each of two full years worked (2 x £543.60). The respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £1,087.50 in total.

A standard notice was attached regarding interest under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990, identifying 16 December 2025 as the relevant decision day, 17 December 2025 as the calculation day, and 8% per annum as the stipulated rate of interest; no interest was awarded as part of the judgment itself.
