Mr Chappell v StreetTeam Software Ltd (In Administration): 2302876/2022
JUDGMENT
[1]The Claimant’s claim for non-payment of wages, contractual notice pay, nonpayment of expenses and any other claim set out in case number 2302876/2022, is dismissed under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 due to the claimant’s non-attendance at the hearing on 24 November 2023.REASONS
[1]The Claimant is a litigant in person. He did not attend the hearing listed for 24 November 2023, a notice of hearing having been sent on 2 October 2023, by post Case No 2302876/2022 and email to the addresses on the court file. Further a link for the CVP hearing was sent by email prior to the hearing.[2]Attempts were made to make contact with the Claimant by email on the day of the hearing but the Tribunal received no response to its emails and the Claimant had not provided the Tribunal with a telephone number.[3]In reaching the decision to dismiss the claimant’s claim, I take into account that the Claimant had failed to attend a previous hearings before EJ Ramsden on the 7 June 2023, despite having received notice of that hearing. At that hearing EJ Ramsden ordered that the Claimant inform the Tribunal by 28 June 2023 as to the reasons for his failure to attend on the 7 June 2023 and whether he wished to pursue his claim. This Order was sent to the Claimant by email and by post. No response had been received by the Tribunal by the deadline or at all.[4]Having made such enquiries as were practicable about the reasons for the Claimant’s absence (on both this and the previous occasion) I have decided to dismiss the claim under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 for failing to attend the hearing.
