Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims of discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, age and disability. The respondent denied all claims and contended that all claims were out of time except the May 2023 claim, which it said lacked sufficient particulars.
The claimant did not attend the second case management hearing. The Tribunal considered the available information about his absence, including prior correspondence and earlier judicial directions about attendance and postponement applications, and concluded that he had voluntarily absented himself.
The Tribunal proceeded in the claimant's absence and dismissed the claims under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. It found that the claims were vague and weak, that further particulars had not been provided, and that there was no confidence that case management orders would be followed.

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.
