A Dickenson v Muse London FAO P Hely: 2216404/2023
JUDGMENT
[1]The Claimant shall e-mail the Tribunal and the Respondent no later than 4.00pm on 2nd April 2024 to confirm whether she wishes to pursue this claim.[2]If the Claimant does not e-mail the Tribunal in accordance with paragraph 1 above, the claim is to be struck out without further order.REASONS
[1]The Claimant did not join today’s hearing. The Tribunal had no prior notice that the Claimant was unavailable to attend today’s hearing.[2]When the Clerk to the Tribunal telephoned the Claimant to ascertain the reason she had not joined the hearing, the Claimant said she was unable to take annual leave in order to attend. Case Number: 2216404/2023[3]The claim form indicates the Claimant was employed from 3rd January 2020 to 10th August 2023, on a net salary of £1,112 per month.[4]The details in the claim form allege the Claimant was made redundant on 8th August and was supposed to be paid on 25th August and 25th September. The form states she received her pay for August, but had not received September’s pay, and was owed over £2,000.[5]On 23rd February 2023 the Respondent e-mailed the Tribunal service and the Claimant stating the Claimant’s unpaid wages and expenses had been paid, and attached the following documents:5.1 Transfer Confirmation bearing a FPID reference, dated 5th February 2024, showing £157.44 was transferred to the Claimant in respect of an expenses claim; and5.2 Transfer Confirmation bearing a FPID reference, dated 5th February 2024, showing £2,250.24 was transferred to the Claimant in respect of “Sept payroll”.[6]In the Tribunal’s judgment, the above documentation indicates the Claimant’s claim may have been satisfied. However, it would be appropriate to allow the Claimant an opportunity to confirm whether that is the case. Accordingly, the Claimant has until 2nd April 2024 to clarify the position, failing which, the claim will be struck out.
