Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed for a final hearing at Lincoln on 16 May 2024 before Employment Judge R Clark sitting alone. The claimant did not attend and was not represented. The respondent, Teen Spirit Limited, attended through Mr Charlton Cooper, the general manager.
The tribunal recorded that notice of hearing had been sent on 18 December 2023 to the claimant's representative at the contact address on the claim form. By 10.00 am neither party appeared to have attended, but Mr Cooper was in the waiting area. The usher and clerk made further enquiries, including checking whether the claimant was delayed, searching the court area again, checking the tribunal inbox, and trying to telephone the claimant's representative. No communication from the claimant or his representative was received.
Mr Cooper applied for dismissal, saying the claimant had not served a witness statement as ordered. In the absence of any explanation for the claimant's non-attendance, the tribunal dismissed the claim under rule 47 of the 2013 Rules of Procedure. The judgment records that there were no other applications.

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.
