Mr P Lisiecki v Dough & Co Woodfired Pizza Ltd: 3304161/2023
JUDGMENT
The claim is dismissed under rule 47 as the claimant failed to attend the hearing.REASONS
This was the second hearing in a row which neither party had attended. I understand from my clerk that the Tribunal has not heard from either party for some months at the very least. In particular nobody had contacted the Tribunal to explain why they would not be here today. The notice of hearing and joining instructions were, I understand sent to both parties. The claimant had not provided a telephone number to the Tribunal and I saw little point in asking my clerk to send an email to the address to which the joining instructions would have been sent previously. A number of orders have been made in this case, none of which appear to have been complied with. Although the claimant specifies a monetary value for his claim in the claim form he does not say how he arrived at that figure. More significantly, the respondent as named above and on the claim form appears not to be the name of a company. There are similar-sounding companies but it is not clear whether they were the claimant’s employer. There is therefore considerable doubt about the correct identity of the respondent. In all the circumstances I considered it appropriate to dismiss the claim under rule 47. Approved by: Case No: 3304161/2023
