Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal did not determine the claim on its merits. It recorded that Mr M Paling did not attend the hearing on 11 October 2021 and, by letter dated 14 October 2021, was given an opportunity to explain why he had not attended and why the claim should not be struck out for not being actively pursued.
The claimant did not make written representations, or did not make sufficient representations, in response and did not request a further hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Shepherd ordered that the claim be struck out on 1 November 2021. The judgment records no substantive findings on liability and no monetary award.

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.
