Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant lodged claims for unfair dismissal, sex discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination and arrears of pay on 28 January 2022. The respondent defended the claim. A preliminary hearing was listed for 30 May 2022 at London Central by CVP, with notice and login details sent in advance. The tribunal recorded that the claimant emailed on 28 May 2022 saying he would not attend, and on the morning of the hearing the clerk wrote and later tried to telephone and email the claimant asking him to attend or log in.
The tribunal sat, adjourned to allow further time, and again attempted to secure the claimant's participation. There was no appearance for or on behalf of the claimant. At 12.43pm, on the respondent's application and on the assumption that the claimant's unexplained non-attendance indicated that he did not intend to pursue the claim, the tribunal dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The judgment records no merits findings on the underlying allegations.

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.
