Mr Brian John Galloway v Respondent — 2018

The claimant's reinstated ET1 concerned unpaid wages and deductions for a uniform. In email correspondence with the Tribunal he said he had worked around 60 hours a week, Monday to Friday, at £7.50 per hour, that he had been paid for the two weeks in September 2014, and that he was claiming roughly £1,500 for October 2014 and the first week of November 2014. The Tribunal also asked about notice pay and holiday pay, and the claimant later said there was no holiday pay involved.

At the final hearing on 6 April 2018 the claimant did not attend and was not represented. After unsuccessful telephone contact attempts, the Employment Judge proceeded in his absence under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 and struck out the claim under Rule 37(1)(d) for want of active prosecution. The Tribunal also checked Companies House and found that Swc Security & Training Limited had been dissolved on 28 June 2017, so the claim was dismissed in any event because the respondent no longer existed as a legal entity. No merits findings or award were made.
