Did not attend and was not represented. For the v Boneham & Turner Ltd — 2024

This was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge R Clark sitting alone at Nottingham on 6 January 2025. The listed purpose was to decide whether Mr Law met the definition of disabled at the material time, to consider strike out or deposit order applications, and to make any necessary case management orders. Mr Law did not attend and was not represented. The tribunal clerk attempted to contact both Mr Law and his representative, Ms Cheryl Brown, by telephone and email, but no response was received.

The judge stood the matter down until 11.45 a.m. because of possible travel difficulties, but no contact was made. When the case was called again at about 11.55 a.m., the judge concluded that some aspects of the case still required further information from the claimant. The respondent's application was granted and the claimant's claims were dismissed in their entirety under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The judgment does not record any merits findings on the underlying pleaded claims.
