Heading: What is this claim for?

Remember, you can make more than one claim for the same events. In fact, it’s very common in tribunal cases to bring multiple related claims. Once you finish this claim just add another.

How an Application for Rule 21 Judgment can get your case resolved

If your employer hasn’t responded to an Employment Tribunal or they’re not contesting your claim, you can apply for a Rule 21 Judgment. Rule 21 in the Employment Tribunal Rules means that a Tribunal can either issue a decision on your documents, or fix a hearing.

Examples of when you can apply for a Rule 21 Judgment in your Employment Tribunal

Although the Tribunal should make a Rule 21 judgment on their own, it may be helpful to send this letter in case the Tribunal doesn’t issue one straight away. Here are some examples where you can apply for a Rule 21 to the Employment Tribunal:

Example

Nikolai has made a claim in the Employment Tribunal but his ex-employer has not yet submitted a Response, even though their 28-day time limit for doing this has passed.

Nikolai phones the Tribunal and they confirm that they have not yet received anything.

He makes an application for a Rule 21 Judgment to ask the Tribunal to determine the issues in the case without a hearing.

Example
Example

How you can apply to the Employment Tribunal for a Rule 21 Judgment

If you haven’t received a response to your claim, you can apply for a Rule 21 Judgment. You should:

  1. check with the Tribunal before you start - it’s possible that a Response has been received and just not been processed by the Tribunal yet
  2. create the application letter or email (Valla template will be available soon)
  3. send the application letter or email to the Tribunal
  4. copy in the Respondent
  5. wait for the Tribunal to confirm whether or not a hearing will be listed or whether they are able to make a decision on the basis of the documents they have received
  6. chase the Tribunal by phone if you don’t hear from them.

What our customers say about us

If I didn’t get help from Valla, I couldn’t go forward with the case.

The confidence they gave me is beyond description.

Subhash

Valla has been a lifesaver for me

They are so helpful and on top of that, everyone has been so nice. I really felt that they emphasised with what I was going through. I will be using them from now until my tribunal issue is settled.

CM

Valla are excellent

I genuinely believe they helped guide me to the best possible outcome for my specific circumstances. They are a choir of angels; I wouldn't have been able to consider going through the processes involved with my experience without their support.
