Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Daniel Waine did not attend the hearing on 9 March 2020, was not represented, and did not contact the Tribunal. The respondent, Den Automation Ltd, entered no appearance and was noted to be in liquidation. Before the hearing, the Tribunal sent an email dated 5 March 2020 asking the claimant to confirm whether he intended to pursue his claims, on the basis that they may already have been paid in the voluntary liquidation process. The Tribunal also telephoned the claimant on 5 March 2020 and left a voicemail to the same effect.
Employment Judge Housego considered Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure on non-attendance, which allows the Tribunal to dismiss or proceed in the absence of a party after considering any available information about the reason for absence. The judge recorded that no reason had been given for the claimant's non-attendance and that he had been reminded by both phone and email on the preceding Friday. The judgment states that the claims were struck out.

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.
