Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed for a hearing at Manchester on 17 February 2020 before Employment Judge Benson. Neither the claimant, Mr C Thompson, nor the respondent, Paul Earnshaw, attended. The tribunal therefore did not hear the case on the merits.
The written judgment records that, because there was no attendance by either party, all claims were dismissed under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution & Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. No separate findings on liability, remedy, or compensation are recorded in the judgment.
The decision was sent to the parties on 25 February 2020. The record also notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal rules.

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.
