Mr S Biggs v SBL Couriers Ltd: 2200513/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]These claims are dismissed pursuant to rule 47 of the Procedure rules 2013.REASONS
[1]These are monetary claims which were listed to be heard today. The Claimant did not attend and he was not represented. The tribunal staff telephoned him today but there was no reply. The Respondent’s solicitor was able to assist in a number of regards. First, neither he (nor the tribunal) have heard anything from the Claimant. Second, he was last week in contact with Acas and they told him that they have been unable to contact the Claimant. He read to me his attendance note made on 6 October and that made plain that Acas had tried several times to contact the Claimant; and that they took the view that he was no longer pursuing the claim. The Conciliation Officer said he was withdrawing from the case and that he would notify the Claimant of this.[2]I agree that it appears that the Claimant has decided not to pursue this claim, after receipt of the ET3 with attached documents. Rule 47 permits me to dismiss the claim in the absence of the Claimant at a hearing and that is the course I now take. Case No: 2200513 /2021
