Ms K Bremner v No appearance or representation Jewel Miners Welfare Society — 2025

A final hearing was listed for 12, 13 and 14 March 2025 after notice was sent by email on 21 January 2025. When the hearing began on 12 March 2025, neither party was present or represented. The tribunal clerk attempted to contact both parties. On behalf of the respondent, Mr Caven replied by telephone and said the email address used for him on the ET3 had one letter transposed, so he had not received the hearing notification.

Attempts to contact Ms Bremner were unsuccessful. The clerk left telephone messages for her and emailed her at the address on the ET1, but no response was received. The tribunal checked the case file and found no contact from the claimant after the hearing notice was issued. It also noted an order dated 17 January 2025 requiring the claimant to provide a schedule of loss within 14 days, with nothing on the file to show that she had done so.

Having regard to the claimant's failure to attend, her failure to respond to telephone and email messages, and her earlier failure to comply with the order, Employment Judge R Mackay dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2024. The judgment records no substantive findings on the merits of the pleaded claims and no monetary award.
