Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the respondent's name to Bargain Food Store Ipswich Limited after considering the documents available. The judgment recorded that the respondent company had changed its name after the claimant's employment ended and had later been dissolved and removed from the Register of Companies.
Neither party attended the final hearing. The claimant responded to contact from the tribunal to say that she was at work and stood by her claim, but she did not give an adequate reason for not attending. The tribunal decided it could not determine the claims without her input and evidence, and that continuing would be futile given the respondent company's dissolution, so all claims were dismissed 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.
