ETZ 4(WR) IN THE EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL (SCOTLAND) Judgment of the Employment Tribunal in Case No: 4104299/2023 Issued Following the
Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis undefended case was listed for final hearing on 26 October 2023 by cloud video platform. The claimant had been given notice of hearing on 17 August 2023, and the CVP clerk attempted to contact him by email and telephone on 25 October and again on 26 October, but without success. The tribunal recorded that the respondent had failed to enter appearance.
The tribunal also noted that the ET1 did not contain enough detail about the sums claimed and the basis said to be due to allow the tribunal to proceed by way of a Rule 21 judgment. The claimant had already failed to respond to the tribunal's letter of 19 September requesting those details and to later reminders. In those circumstances, and in light of the claimant's non-appearance and lack of communication, the tribunal inferred that he no longer intended to pursue the claim and dismissed it under Rule 47. The judgment adds that if the claimant wishes to pursue the matter and can explain his absence, he may consider an application for reconsideration.

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.
