Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Edinburgh via Cloud Video Platform on 2 December 2025, Employment Judge Cowen struck out Mrs C Collins's claim under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024 for non-attendance. The judgment records that the claimant was notified of the hearing on 26 August 2025 and was asked on 25 September 2025 to provide details of her claim so that a judgment could be considered; she did not respond to that order or to a reminder sent on 15 October 2025, and a strike-out warning was sent on 28 October 2025.
The claimant later wrote on 27 and 28 November 2025 saying she would not attend the hearing because she had only recently received the documents and wanted more time to prepare. EJ Mannion refused an application for postponement on 28 November 2025. The claimant did not attend the hearing, and the tribunal found that she had notice of it and had chosen not to attend despite knowing that a postponement had not been granted.
The tribunal therefore dismissed and struck out the claim because the claimant failed to attend and failed to comply with previous orders to provide information. The judgment does not make any merits findings on the underlying claims and records no monetary award.

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.
