Constitution of Tribunal:
Chairman (sitting alone): Mr Buggy
Appearances:
The claimant was self-represented.
The respondents were debarred from participating in the hearing because they did not present a response within the relevant time limit.
REASONS
1. I announced my decision at the end of the hearing. At the same time, I gave brief oral reasons for that decision.
2. This decision is based on the following information:
Gross weekly pay of £90
Net weekly pay of £90
Number of actual completed years of service: 2
Age on date of dismissal: 53
Multiplier (for redundancy pay): 3
3. “Complete Newspaper Solutions” was the original title, in these proceedings, of the first named respondent. During the course of this hearing, the claimant told me that he had been employed by Complete Newspaper Solutions Ltd and the title of the first named respondent was amended accordingly.
4. During the course of this hearing, the claimant accepted that he had been employed by the company, and not by Mr Shiels or by Ms Turkington. That is why he withdrew his proceedings against them.
5. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
