THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS

 

CASE REF: 2615/15

 

CLAIMANT: Andrea Lambe

 

 

RESPONDENT: Dr Clare McGowan

 

 

DECISION

(A) The claimant's holiday pay claim is well-founded and it is ordered that the respondent shall pay to the claimant the sum of £939 in respect of holiday pay.

 

(B) The claimant's breach of contract claim in respect of failure to provide due notice of termination of employment is well-founded; it is ordered that the respondent shall pay to the claimant the sum of £400 as damages in respect of that breach of contract.

 

(C) The claimant's unfair dismissal claim is well-founded and it is ordered that the respondent shall pay to the claimant the sum of £300 as compensation in respect of that unfair dismissal.

 

Constitution of Tribunal:

Employment Judge (sitting alone): Employment Judge Buggy

Appearances:

The claimant was self-represented

The respondent was debarred from participating in these proceedings because

she did not present a response, and the time-limit for doing so has expired.

 

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. The unfair dismissal compensation which I have awarded consists of a compensatory award of £300. (The claimant is not entitled to a basic award because a redundancy payment has already been awarded: (See
Article 156(4)(a) of the Employment Rights (Northern Ireland) Order 1996).

 

3. I am satisfied that the Recoupment Regulations do not apply in the circumstances of this case.

 

4. This is a relevant decision for the purposes of the Industrial Tribunals (Interest) Order (Northern Ireland) 1990.

 

 

 

 

Employment Judge:
