Failed to attend For the v Ms Wood (in-house representative) — 2022

The case was heard at Cambridge Employment Tribunal on 10 November 2022 before Employment Judge King sitting alone. The claimant did not attend, and for the respondent Ms Wood asked for strike out because the claims were not being actively pursued. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had failed to comply with the case management order dated 25 May 2022 by not providing disclosure or a witness statement, and that there had been no response to the respondent's correspondence.

An adjournment was taken to allow for the possibility that the claimant was simply late, but she still did not attend. The tribunal struck out the claimant's claims both on the respondent's application and on the tribunal's own initiative. The reasons given were that the claims had no reasonable prospect of success on the papers seen, that the claimant had not complied with the tribunal's order of 25 May 2022, and that the claims had not been actively pursued. No monetary award was made.
