Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed for a three-day final hearing at Teesside Justice Hearing Centre beginning on 23 September 2019. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had corresponded about receipt of the hearing notice but had also acknowledged awareness of the listed dates in later correspondence. It noted that the respondent and tribunal had sent further confirmations of the listing, including an email on 20 September 2019 confirming that the hearing would go ahead on 23 September 2019.
When the case was called at 10:00am on 23 September 2019, the claimant was not in attendance. The tribunal attempted to contact him unsuccessfully by telephone, and the respondent’s representative said the claimant had not provided the ordered witness statement and had not had meaningful contact for some time. The tribunal waited until 11:00am, then unanimously dismissed all of the claimant’s claims under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because of his non-attendance.

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.
