THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 6483/09
CLAIMANT: Catherine Totton
RESPONDENT: Nortel Networks UK Ltd (in administration)
DECISION
The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim is well-founded. It is ordered that the respondent shall pay to the claimant the sum of £350 in respect of that dismissal.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge (sitting alone): Employment Judge Buggy
Appearances:
The claimant was represented by Mr Andrew Stephens.
The respondent was not represented.
REASONS
1. Reasons for this Decision will be given in the course of a hearing which will take place on Thursday 14 May 2015 at 4.15 pm.
2. There is no need for the claimant or her representative to be in attendance during the course of that hearing, although either or both are of course welcome to attend.
3. A CD, containing a recording of that hearing, will be made available to either or both parties upon request.
4. Paragraph (3) of Rule 30 of the Industrial Tribunals rules is to the following effect. If oral reasons have been provided, written reasons will be provided if (and only if) written reasons are thereafter promptly requested by one of the parties.
5. The Recoupment Regulations do not apply.
6. This Decision is concerned only with the claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal. However, in these proceedings, this claimant also has a pending claim for breach of contract. (That is a claim relating to an alleged contractual entitlement to redundancy pay, over and above the statutory redundancy pay entitlement). That statutory entitlement has of course already been the subject of a successful application to the Department for Employment and Learning). The claimant is not abandoning the contractual redundancy claim. However, the claimant and the administrators are agreed that there is no need for an industrial tribunal adjudication in respect of that claim; instead, the claimant and the administrators expect that the matter can in due course be resolved, between themselves, during the course of the insolvency process.
7. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
