Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing was listed at Manchester by video on 29 May 2025 before Employment Judge Cline sitting alone. Neither the claimant nor the respondent attended. The tribunal noted that attempts had been made to contact the claimant’s lay representative, Mr Hall, using the telephone number and two email addresses he had provided.
The tribunal also recorded that none of the directions in the case management order of Employment Judge T Brown dated 11 March 2025 appeared to have been complied with by either party. In that procedural context, the tribunal made no findings on the merits of the claims.
The claimant’s claims for unfair dismissal, discrimination on the grounds of race, discrimination on the grounds of age, and arrears of pay were dismissed for non-attendance under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The written record states that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
