Department for Work and Pensions

Case Summary

The claimant brought claims of disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments against the Department for Work and Pensions. The claim was dismissed in full under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 due to the claimant's failure to attend the hearing and lack of contact with the tribunal.

The claim was dismissed under Rule 47 because the claimant failed to attend the hearing and had not been in contact with the respondent's solicitors since early December 2025 or provided any correspondence to the tribunal, and the judge determined that dismissal was in furtherance of the overriding objective to avoid further time and costs being wasted.
