Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss M Batili's claims against NRM Metal Recycling Limited (in creditors voluntary liquidation) were listed for hearing on 25 November 2020 before Employment Judge Moor, sitting with lay members Ms A Berry and Mrs M Legg. Neither party attended. The tribunal waited 45 minutes, and the clerk attempted to telephone and email the claimant, but no explanation for the absence was received.
The tribunal found that the claimant had had proper notice of the hearing months in advance and had been reminded about it at a preliminary hearing on 16 October 2020. It recorded that she had been told the hearing would take place by Cloud Video Platform and that the hearing notice contained the correct PIN. The tribunal also noted that the claimant had not completed the preparation steps required, including a witness statement and an updated schedule of loss.
Because no evidence was heard and the tribunal could not decide the claims without it, the tribunal dismissed the claims under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013 for non-attendance. No merits findings or monetary award were made.

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.
