JUDGMENT

The Judgment of the Employment Tribunal is that:- The claim was dismissed.

REASONS

[1]Neither party attended for the hearing and no communications had been received by the Tribunal from either party as to the reasons for non-attendance. The Respondent disputed the complaint of unfair dismissal in Case Number: 2304281/2019 the response and set out grounds which potentially could, if upheld, defeat the Claimant’s claim. The Tribunal took into account that the dismissal was admitted but that the burden of proof in relation to fairness or otherwise was neutral. Having regard to the matters set out in both the claim form and the grounds of resistance, the Tribunal considered that it could not, on the balance of probabilities, find that the dismissal was unfair. In all those circumstances therefore, the complaint was not well founded and was dismissed.
