Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing on 28 July 2023 before Employment Judge Hyams sitting alone. The claimant was not present or represented. The respondent was represented by Ms Georgia Hicks of counsel. The tribunal had before it an application by the claimant to postpone the hearing because of illness, but that request had been refused because he had not provided medical evidence explaining why he was unfit to attend by telephone.

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.
