JUDGMENT

[1]The claim for unlawful deduction from wages is not well-founded and is hereby dismissed. Employment Judge Porter Date: 12 March 2018[2]JUDGMENT SENT TO THE PARTIES ON 14 March 2018 FOR THE TRIBUNAL OFFICE Note Reasons for the judgment having been given orally at the hearing, written reasons will not be provided unless a request was made by either party at the hearing or a written request is presented by either party within 14 days of the sending of this written record of the decision.[3]Case No: 2420553/17 1 EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS Claimant: Mrs M Begum Respondent: Mrs Karen Shillito[4]JUDGMENT ON RECONSIDERATION In exercise of the power conferred upon me by Rule 72(1) of the Rules of Procedure set out in Schedule 1 to The Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 I refuse the application for a reconsideration by the claimant contained in her email dated 21 March 2018 and letter dated 13 June 2018 because the application has no reasonable prospect of success.

REASONS

[1]The claimant did not attend the hearing on 12 March 2018.[2]The claimant has failed to provide a satisfactory explanation for her non-attendance.[3]The only explanation for the absence is that it was “due to family death”.[4]The claimant has failed to: 4.1. identify the member of the family; 4.2. provide the date, and documentary evidence, of the death; 4.3. explain why the claimant did not apply for a postponement of the hearing or notify the tribunal of the reason for her non-attendance prior to the hearing.[5]I cannot find that the interests of justice require such a reconsideration. Case No: 2420553/17 2[6]There must be finality in litigation.
