Mrs Y Barwick v Dr A Qureshi — 2020

The hearing took place on 2 November 2020 before Employment Judge Russell at the East London Hearing Centre. The Respondent did not attend and was not represented. The judgment records that the Respondent failed to present a response within the time limit, had been sent notice of the hearing and dial-in details, but still did not attend or take part.

The tribunal held that the claims of unfair dismissal, race discrimination, unauthorised deduction from wages, and breach of contract concerning sick pay succeeded. The written decision does not set out detailed liability reasoning in the extracted text, and it does not record any separate findings on remedy at this stage.

Remedy was postponed. The Claimant was directed to provide a schedule of loss, supporting documents, and a witness statement by 16 November 2020, and the tribunal said remedy would be dealt with on the papers if possible and otherwise at a further hearing. The judgment also stated that the Respondent was entitled to copies of documents and notice of any hearing, but could only participate to the extent permitted by an Employment Judge.
