The claimant presented his claim to the Employment Tribunal on 21 April 2025. Notice of the claim was served on the respondent on 24 April 2025. A response was required to be lodged to the claim by 22 May 2025. Although the claim was served on the respondent at the address of its 5 registered office as shown on the Companies House register, the claim form was returned to the Employment Tribunal unopened. On 14 May 2025 the Tribunal wrote to the claimant to explain that service had bounced and to request an alternative address. The claimant did not reply. 10 2. The view was taken that since service had been attempted at the respondent’s correct registered office address, it was appropriate to issue a default judgment. Default judgment was issued on 10 October 2025. 3. By email dated 22 October 2025, the respondent (per Yvonne Donnelly, 15 Director) requested a reconsideration, stating that the respondent had not received the ET1 and had not therefore had the opportunity to respond to the claim.
