Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Loy dismissed all of Adeeb Rahman’s claims against the Department for Work and Pensions under rule 47. The judgment records that Mr Rahman did not attend the private preliminary hearing at Newcastle by CVP on 2 September 2026, which had been listed to case manage his claims.
The Tribunal found that Mr Rahman had been notified of the hearing on 29 December 2025, did not respond to the Tribunal administration’s attempts to contact him on the day, and gave no indication or explanation for his absence during the eight months since the hearing was listed. It also found no indication that he was pursuing the claims, referring to a failure to serve a case-management agenda and to engage with the respondent’s efforts to agree a list of issues.
No merits findings or monetary remedy were recorded. The reasons were given orally at the hearing; the written judgment states that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the stated 14-day process.

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.
