Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was listed for a final hearing at the Glasgow Office of the Employment Tribunal on 3 December 2019. Both parties had been notified of the hearing by letter issued on 16 September 2019.
Neither party appeared or was represented at the hearing. The tribunal considered correspondence between the parties and the tribunal office dated 28 November 2019, and noted that attempts were made by a tribunal clerk to contact both parties or their representatives by telephone on the morning of the hearing.
Using the powers conferred by Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, the tribunal dismissed the claim following the non-attendance of both parties.

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.
