[1]This hearing had been listed as a public hearing as the Claimant has previously failed to attend a hearing and has failed to comply with case management orders in a timely manner. The Claimant has not attended today’s hearing. Rule 47 Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 explains that if a party has not attended (or been represented at) a hearing I may dismiss the claim or proceed in the absence of that party.[2]The Respondent has not received any recent communications from the Claimant and neither has the Tribunal. Attempts to contact the Claimant have been unsuccessful.[3]This is the second occasion on which the Respondent has undertaken a lot of preparation for a hearing and without any notice the Claimant has failed to attend.

I determined that it furthered the overriding objective for me to dismiss the claim on this occasion.[4]If the Claimant wishes to apply for me to reconsider this decision, she should write to the Respondent and Tribunal within 14 days of this Judgment being sent to her, explaining:a.
