Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting remotely in private on 18 August 2025 before Employment Judge Dimbylow, dealt with the respondent's application to dismiss the claim because the claimant did not attend the hearing. The tribunal recorded that the claimant was not present or represented, and that she had failed to reply to communications from the respondent on 8, 13 and 14 August 2025.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant failed to answer two telephone calls made to her by the clerk during the hearing and did not respond to an email sent at 10.13am directing her to join by 10.45am. On that basis, the tribunal dismissed the claim pursuant to Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.
The judgment does not determine the underlying substantive claims on their merits and does not record any monetary award. Written reasons were not provided in the written record because no request was made at the hearing.

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.
