Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place at Leeds on 12 February 2020 before Employment Judge JM Wade. The claimant did not attend by 11.45 am. The tribunal clerk made a telephone enquiry, and a note recorded that the claimant had previously emailed to say he could not attend, but that email could not be found on the file. He was asked to forward it again, but he did not do so.
The respondent attended through Mr Major. The judge recorded that there had been no application for a postponement and no contact from the claimant on the file. The judge considered the available case-management options and decided to dismiss the proceedings that day under Rule 47, rather than determine the merits in the claimant's absence. The reasons also note that the claimant had not provided a schedule of loss in accordance with directions, or otherwise indicated that he was pursuing the claim.

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.
