Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by Employment Judge Ainscough sitting alone at Manchester (Crown Square) on 14 to 22 October 2019. The judgment records that the claimant did not attend the preliminary hearing and did not instruct those representing the other claimants.
Because of that non-attendance, the Tribunal dismissed the claims in accordance with rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The dismissal covered unfair dismissal, deductions from pay, holiday pay, notice pay, and the complaint seeking a redundancy payment and protective award.
The judgment does not record any substantive findings on the merits of the claims or any remedy award. It is a procedural dismissal only, and the written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
