Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent applied on 25 June 2025 for reconsideration of the judgment sent to the parties on 11 June 2025. Employment Judge S Moore refused the application on 8 October 2025, applying Rules 69-71 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024 and the authorities cited on reconsideration, finality, and fresh evidence.
The tribunal found that the accompanying document did not identify any specific error of law or fact said to affect the outcome, and that the real focus of the application was the respondent's lack of legal representation. It recorded that the respondent had previously applied for a postponement on 7 May 2025 to obtain representation, that this was refused because there was sufficient time to secure representation before the 9 June 2025 hearing, and that the respondent had been on notice of the claim since 29 May 2024 and of the hearing since 25 April 2025.
The tribunal also noted that the respondent had failed to comply with orders of Judge Williams dated 10 March 2025 for disclosure and exchange of witness statements, but had nevertheless been permitted to adduce documents and call witnesses at the hearing. It held that the application amounted to a request for another chance to defend the claim with legal representation, which was not a reasonable basis for reconsideration, and refused the request at the first stage. No monetary award is recorded in this reconsideration judgment.

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.
