Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant did not attend the hearing on 25 May 2023. The tribunal clerk telephoned her twice and sent an email between 10.00am and 10.30am asking her to contact the tribunal to confirm whether she was attending and, if not, why not. No response was received.
The tribunal noted that a previous final hearing in January 2023 had already been postponed because of the Claimant's non-attendance. It also noted correspondence in the previous 10 days in which the Claimant said she did not intend to produce a witness statement, despite the Respondent having pointed out the tribunal order requiring one. The tribunal concluded it could not proceed in her absence because it had no evidence from her, and it therefore dismissed the claims under rule 47.

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.
