Miss K Kluza v v Easyjet Airline Company Limited — 2026

Miss Kluza was employed by easyJet Airline Company Limited from 14 February 2023 to 29 August 2023 and presented her claim on 1 November 2023. The judgment does not identify the substantive causes of action. After a lengthy delay that may have resulted from a tribunal administrative oversight, a preliminary hearing was listed for 8 July 2026. The respondent's representative tried to contact Miss Kluza by email, text and post about the case management agenda but received no response. The tribunal's digital file showed that she had last contacted the tribunal on 18 June 2024.

Miss Kluza did not attend or have representation at the video hearing. The tribunal clerk's attempts to reach her by telephone and email brought no response, and the tribunal had no information explaining her absence. Employment Judge Hawksworth dismissed the claim under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, finding that the lack of contact indicated that Miss Kluza had decided not to pursue it. No remedy was awarded. The judgment states that the decision may be reconsidered if there was a good reason for her failure to attend, subject to a request being made within 14 days of the judgment and reasons being sent to the parties.
