Case Summary

The claimant, dismissed for redundancy on 5 December 2024 after 4 years of service, brought claims for statutory redundancy payment, notice pay, and accrued holiday pay. The tribunal found the claimant lacked title to present the claims and the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to consider them, dismissing all claims for want of jurisdiction.

The tribunal determined that the claimant's title to present and the tribunal's jurisdiction to consider the claims for statutory redundancy payment, notice pay, and holiday pay were prescribed by statutory provisions in section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and similar terms for holiday pay claims, which the claimant did not satisfy as at the date of presentation on 12 November 2025.
