Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a costs judgment, not a substantive liability decision. Tribunal Judge Peer, sitting alone at Watford by CVP, recorded that the claimant, Mr S. Durack, was ordered to pay the respondent Principle Racing Ltd's costs of £1,500. The order related to costs incurred for the hearing postponed on 30 May 2024.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant had failed to show cause as ordered, and thereafter failed to explain why he should not be liable for costs. The award was made under Rule 76(1) of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013. No findings were set out on the underlying merits of the employment claims in this written record.
The written reasons note that reasons were given orally at the hearing and would not be provided unless requested within the applicable time limit. The judgment sent to the parties is dated 27 August 2024.

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.
