Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningJessica Rimmer did not attend the hearing on 7 November 2025 and was not represented. The tribunal recorded that there was no explanation for her absence, that it called her and left a voicemail, and that the message was not returned. It also noted that, before the hearing, she had failed to engage with the respondent about progression of the case, including the bundle and list of issues, and had not given her views on acceptance of the respondent’s response within the extended time allowed.
Employment Judge Salter admitted the respondent’s response and, applying rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, dismissed the claim. The judgment states that dismissal was considered a proportionate outcome. No findings were made on the substantive merits of any underlying discrimination or unfair dismissal allegations, and no remedy was awarded.
The reasons do not identify any lay members, and the judgment does not record any monetary award or split between heads of loss. The only recorded outcome is dismissal of the claim for procedural non-engagement and 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.
