Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal recorded that on 27 March 2023 the claimant entered into a COT 3 agreement with Fasciveal Limited, and that there was full settlement in relation to that respondent. As a consequence, the claim against Fasciveal Limited was withdrawn and it took no further part in the proceedings.
In relation to Drivers Direct Recruitment Agency Limited, the Tribunal office contacted the claimant on 1 June 2023. The claimant said, in substance, that the case had already been settled and that he had received his money. The office also told the respondent that it was not expecting a hearing, and on 1 June 2023 it emailed the claimant asking him to confirm withdrawal of the claim against that respondent.
Neither party attended the hearing on 2 June 2023. Employment Judge Bax was satisfied that both parties had notice of the hearing and understood that the matter had been resolved and that neither intended to attend. The claim against Drivers Direct Recruitment Agency Limited was therefore dismissed under rule 47.

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.
