Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims of unfair dismissal and unauthorised deduction from wages. A previous final hearing on 7 October 2025 had been postponed because neither party had complied with Tribunal directions.
The claimant did not attend the hearing on 9 February 2026. The Tribunal was satisfied that he had notice of the hearing, noted that attempts to contact him by phone and email were unsuccessful, and recorded that he had not submitted evidence as ordered or contacted the Tribunal with a reason for not attending.
Relying on Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules, the Tribunal considered it just and fair to strike out both claims.

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.
