THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 13702/18
CLAIMANT: Cathy Morgan
RESPONDENT: Catherine O’Rourke, t/a Core Beauty Castlewellan
DEFAULT JUDGEMENT
No response to these proceedings have been presented to the Office of the Tribunals within the relevant time-limit. I have decided to determine the following claim without a hearing. I determine as follows:
The claimant’s unfair dismissal claim is well-founded. It is ordered that the respondent shall pay compensation to the claimant in respect of unfair dismissal. The amount of compensation awarded has two components:
(a) A basic award.
(b) A compensatory award.
I have decided as follows:
1. The respondent shall pay a basic award of £1,600 to the claimant.
2. The amount of any compensatory award element of the unfair dismissal compensation will be calculated during the course of a remedies hearing, if such a hearing is held. (Such a remedies hearing will be held, in due course, if the claimant asks for such a hearing to be held).
General information
(1) The claimant is reminded that the Redundancy Payments Service has no power to make a payment to the claimant in respect of the compensatory award element of any unfair dismissal compensation which might be awarded to her.
(2) The basic award is an award of four week’s pay. That award is made pursuant to paragraph 1(B) of Article 154 of the Employment Rights Order 1996, because the statutory dismissal procedure was not followed by the employer in this case. (See paragraph (1) of Article 130A of the 1996 Order).
(3) The proper title of the respondent is as stated above, and I have amended the title of the proceedings accordingly.
(4) This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.
