Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant did not attend the private CVP case management hearing on 15 January 2026, despite notice having been sent on 20 June 2025. The Tribunal attempted to contact him by telephone and email during the hearing, but the call did not connect and no email reply was received.
The Tribunal recorded that the claimant had not complied with case management orders, including an order to provide information about his disability, and had not responded to the respondent's correspondence. Employment Judge Hutchings found that the claimant was not engaging with the proceedings and considered it fair to dismiss the claim following non-attendance.

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.
