Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed as Mr M Ward v Conley Utilities Ltd, case numbers 1300078/2020 and 1304800/2020, and was heard by Employment Judge Hughes at a Skype hearing in Birmingham on 8 June 2020. The claimant was not in attendance and had also failed to attend the trial Skype hearing on 5 June 2020.
The judgment records that, because the claimant failed, with no good reason, to attend the hearing, the tribunal dismissed both the claim and the counterclaim. No findings on the underlying merits were made in the short judgment, and no financial award was recorded.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
