Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr D Whelan, did not attend the final hearing on 3 December 2019. He had been employed by the respondent as a bookkeeper from 15 January to 12 April 2019 and had brought a claim for unpaid wages arising from days worked in April 2019.
The tribunal recorded that the respondent produced a COT3 agreement entered into between the parties in June 2019. It found that the claimant had initiated a further period of early conciliation for the same claim that had already been settled, and it rejected the claimant's case that he had accepted the earlier settlement under duress.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the fresh claim. It described the claim as an abuse of process and rejected and/or dismissed it. No monetary award was made.

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.
