Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr D McNamee did not attend the final hearing on 12 August 2019 and was not represented. The respondent also did not attend and had not lodged a response. After the clerk telephoned him, the claimant said he was in Dunoon for the day, had mixed up the hearing date, and no longer intended to pursue the claim.
The tribunal noted that the claimant had already failed to attend an earlier final hearing fixed for 5 April 2019 and had been warned by letter dated 5 April 2019 that, if he did not attend any relisted hearing without proper excuse, dismissal was likely. The tribunal found that he had not provided a proper excuse for his non-attendance and dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.

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.
