Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed for a preliminary hearing at Manchester on 26 February 2021 before Employment Judge Johnson. Neither party attended or joined by CVP. The claimant had emailed the tribunal the previous day asking for a postponement, then said he would not attend because of 'long covid' and that he had told the respondent 'to keep the money'. When asked whether he wanted a postponement or was withdrawing his claim, he replied, 'I wish to redraw my claim'.
The judge considered that reply in the context of the earlier emails and was satisfied that the claimant was not seeking a postponement, but intended to withdraw the claim. Applying Rule 47 of the Tribunal's Rules of Procedure, the tribunal dismissed all claims without making any further orders. The judgment also varied the respondent's name to UK Staffing Group Limited. No merits findings or remedy award were made.

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.
