Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place on 11 January 2023 at Manchester via CVP before Employment Judge Fredericks. The claimant did not attend. The respondent was represented by Mr P Green, director of the respondent.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been sent notice of the hearing, had used the e-mail address to send documents to the tribunal, and had also been sent the direction of Employment Judge Allen dated 5 January 2023 confirming that the hearing would proceed as listed. No reason for the claimant's absence was provided.
The tribunal telephoned the claimant at 10:05am and again at 10:10am. On both occasions the line went to voicemail, and a voicemail was left on the first call. The full merits hearing was listed for two hours from 10:00am, and the tribunal and Mr Green waited until 11:00am, by which time the claimant had not attended or responded.
In those circumstances, the tribunal dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013, stating that dismissal was in accordance with the overriding objective. The judgment does not determine the underlying merits of any substantive complaint or record any monetary award.

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.
