Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe only claim identified in the judgment was for unlawful deductions from wages. The hearing took place at London Central on 24 January 2020 before Employment Judge Joffe. The claimant did not attend and was not represented; the respondent attended through Mr D Coombs, director.
The tribunal recorded that checks were made with the building waiting rooms and conference rooms, with security, and by email and telephone, but the claimant could not be located or contacted. Because the respondent was present and the claimant was unavailable to give evidence in support of the claim, the tribunal concluded that the appropriate course was to dismiss the claims pursuant to rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013. The judgment therefore dismisses the unlawful deductions from wages claim without a merits determination.

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.
