Case No: 3311321/2023 10.2 Judgment - rule 61 February 2018 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Ms J Kaur Respondent: SBFM Limited Heard at: Bury St Edmunds (via CVP) On: 17 April 2024 Before: Employment Judge Graham Representation Claimant: Did not attend Respondent: Mr S Pybus (HRBP), Ms R Cleary (HRBP) JUDGMENT 1. The claim is struck out. REASONS 1. Today’s private preliminary hearing was listed for case management. 2. A previous preliminary hearing for the same purposes listed for 5 March 2024 had been postponed upon application by the Claimant as she would be travelling. 3. The Claimant was directed to provide proof of her travel booking, however no response was received despite a reminder from the Tribunal dated 10 April 2024. 4. The Claimant was asked to complete a case management agenda for today’s hearing however she did not do so. 5. The Claimant failed to join the hearing by 2:07pm. Enquiries with the Tribunal staff confirmed that no emails had been received from the Claimant. Case No: 3311321/2023 10.2 Judgment - rule 61 February 2018 6. Given the Claimant’s failure to attend today’s hearing, and her failure to comply with the direction to provide details of her travel booking which she said prevented her attendance at the previous preliminary hearing, I formed the view that the Claimant did not intend to take part and that she was not actively pursuing her claim. 7. I therefore decided that the appropriate course would be to strike out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 37(1)(d) (failure to actively pursue her claim) and Rule 47 (non-attendance). _____________________________ E...
