Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was heard on 16 November 2023 at East London Hearing Centre before Employment Judge B Elgot. The claimant, Mr E Guaverra, did not attend and was not represented. The respondent, APS Design Associates Limited (in liquidation), was represented by Mr P Seager, Director; the liquidators did not attend as previously notified.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been properly notified of the date, time and place of the hearing, but had made no contact with the tribunal or the respondent to explain his absence. It also noted that he had not supplied the schedule of loss and copy payslips requested by the tribunal letter dated 14 August 2023, and had not provided the witness statement ordered by Employment Judge Ross at the hearing on 2 October 2023.
In those circumstances, the tribunal held that it was not possible to proceed with the hearing in the claimant's absence and without the missing information. All the claims were therefore dismissed pursuant to Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.

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.
