JUDGMENT
The complaint of Unfair Dismissal is struck out.REASONS
[1]By a letter dated 28 May 2021 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the complaint of Unfair Dismissal should not be struck out because:• it has no reasonable prospect of success.[2]The claimant has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The complaint of Unfair Dismissal is therefore struck out. Employment Judge Howard 21st July 2021[1]It is recorded that, on 20 January 2022, the claimant failed to attend the hearing of his claim. The Employment Tribunal made reasonable enquiries into the claimant’s non-attendance. Specifically, the Employment Tribunal:a. called the claimant three times on the mobile phone number in the ET1, but each call went to voicemail.b. emailed the claimant, but no response was received.c. enquired with the respondent’s representative if there had been any recent contact between the claimant and the respondent. The respondent’s representative was unaware of any contact. Further, she confirmed that she had, at 10.07am on 20 January 2022, emailed the link to the claimant marked urgent, but had not had a reply.[2]In all the circumstances, the Employment Tribunal was not aware of any good reason for the claimant’s non-attendance.[3]Accordingly, all claims are dismissed under Rule 47 Employment Tribunals (Constitution & Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.
