Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant presented his claim form on 15 May 2020 and said his employment ended on 18 December 2019. The tribunal noted that he had until 17 March 2020 to contact ACAS and enter Early Conciliation, but the certificate number on the claim form showed that he did not enter Early Conciliation until 7 April 2020. On that basis the claim was on its face out of time.
The hearing was listed for 28 September 2020 and the parties were sent CVP access instructions after the listing changed from 11.00 to 14.00. Neither party attended, no postponement was sought, and no written submissions or explanation for non-attendance were provided. The tribunal proceeded in their absence under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant gave no explanation for the delay in contacting ACAS and produced no evidence to support an argument under section 111(2) Employment Rights Act 1996. It therefore held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and struck it out.

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.
