Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant, Mr E Botchway, did not attend the Preliminary Hearing (Case Management) on 10 December 2019 and gave the tribunal no information explaining his non-attendance. On that basis, Employment Judge Norris dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.

The judgment also records that the hearing listed for 25 to 26 February 2020 was vacated as a result of the dismissal. No substantive findings were made on the underlying employment issues, and no monetary award was recorded.

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.
