Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe only issue determined in this short judgment was the respondent's application for costs. Employment Judge Massarella accepted that the claimant's conduct of the proceedings, in not attending the Preliminary Hearing on 8 June 2022, was unreasonable for the reasons already set out in the Unless Order sent to the parties on 1 July 2022.
However, the judge decided not to exercise the discretion to award costs. The reason given was that the claimant's case had already been dismissed because he failed to comply with the Unless Order, and that a further costs order would be unnecessarily punitive.
The respondent's application for costs was therefore refused. No monetary award was made in the judgment.

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.
