Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was employed by the respondent from 23 August to 26 August 2022 as a Business Development Executive. She brought claims of harassment, direct discrimination and victimisation contrary to the Equality Act 2010 on the grounds of race, and the respondent resisted those claims.
The claimant did not attend the final hearing on 10 June 2024. The tribunal made telephone enquiries about her absence, noted that she said she was unaware of the hearing and referred to radiotherapy, but also noted she was at work and had not provided medical evidence or contacted the tribunal or respondent in advance.
The tribunal was satisfied that practicable enquiries had been made, that the claimant knew about the hearing, and that it was not appropriate to hear the claims in her absence because the issues required her evidence. It dismissed the claim under Rule 47, considering that outcome proportionate and consistent with the overriding objective.

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.
