Employment Judge CorriganNo appearance for claimantMr D Northall (instructed by Counsel) for respondentDate 28 November 2019

JUDGMENT

[1]The Claimant’s claim is dismissed due to her non-attendance under Rule 47 Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure.

REASONS

[1]The Claimant did not attend. The Tribunal clerk made contact with the Claimant who said she would not be attending as she had had concussion and still has a headache and dizziness. The Tribunal clerk then called the Claimant again to establish whether she was requesting an adjournment but the call went to answer phone. A message was left for her to call back but she did not. There was therefore no application to adjourn.[2]The Claimant has not complied with the Case Management Orders made on 30 May 2019 and has had no contact with either the Respondent or the Tribunal. The Respondent has been chasing compliance with the Order and the Claimant has not responded. CASE NUMBER: 2300275/2019[3]It therefore appears that the Claimant has failed to attend in the context that she has not been actively pursuing her claim and I considered the matter should be dismissed rather than heard in her absence. .................................................
