Case Summary

The claimant and respondent both failed to attend the tribunal hearing on 25 February 2026, and the tribunal was unable to contact either party despite attempts by telephone and email. All claims were dismissed under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2024 due to non-compliance with previous orders and apparent non-pursuit of the claim.

Why this outcome?

Not actively pursued

The claims were dismissed because both parties failed to attend the hearing, could not be contacted despite the tribunal's attempts to reach them by telephone and email, and had failed to comply with previous tribunal orders dated 19 June 2025, indicating the claim was not being actively pursued.
