REASONS

[1]The claimant was not in attendance, no contact with the Tribunal or application to postpone the hearing had been made in advance and she was not contactable on the mobile telephone number provided on the claim form.[2]I was satisfied that the notice of hearing had been sent to the claimant’s address as provided on the claim form and decided to proceed to hear the claim, in the claimant’s absence.[3]The claimant’s claim is for unpaid wages in the amount of £200.00[4]I took the claim form, the response and submissions by Mrs Hargreaves into account when reaching my decision; that being all the evidence available to me.[5]As Mrs Hargreaves explained; the dog grooming salon is owned by her son, Jack Turner, trading as Mucky Pups.[6]Bamford is Mrs Hargreaves’ maiden name and she does not own the salon.[7]I accepted Mrs Hargreaves’ explanation and found that the respondent is not liable for any wages owed to the claimant.[8]Accordingly, the claim against the respondent fails and is dismissed.
