Case Summary
The claimant presented a claim including disability discrimination but failed to attend the final case management preliminary hearing on 11 March 2026 and did not contact the tribunal despite prior explicit directions to do so. The tribunal dismissed the claim under Rule 47 for non-attendance and failure to be represented, noting the claimant had previously failed to provide particulars of her complaints and had been warned of the consequences.
Why this outcome?
Non-compliance with ordersThe claim was dismissed because the claimant failed to attend the final hearing and failed to contact the tribunal despite prior direct instruction to do so in the event of technical difficulties. Additionally, the claim contained insufficient detail and the claimant had failed to provide particulars of her complaints as required, making it impossible to progress the hearing in her absence.
