Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant, Mr M Wills, did not attend the telephone hearing on 14 December 2021 and was not represented. The tribunal recorded that enquiries were made into the reason for his absence, but no communication was received from him.

Employment Judge B Elgot then exercised the tribunal's powers under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 and, having considered all the information available, dismissed all claims. The hearing listed for 17 and 18 March 2022 was vacated.

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. See full methodology.
