Mr K Khadam v Superdrug Stores plc: 3304459/2024
JUDGMENT
The claimant’s claims of indirect race discrimination, harassment related to race, victimisation, unfair dismissal and unlawful deductions from wages are DISMISSED.REASONS
[1]The claimant did not attend. The tribunal has had no correspondence from the claimant since the ET1. The respondent has received no response to its correspondence to the claimant. The tribunal emailed the claimant the day before the hearing with a link for the CVP. The clerk telephoned the claimant today and left a message but there was no response. I waited until 14.15 before starting the hearing. The tribunal had no information before it about the reasons for the claimant’s absence.[2]Given the lack of communication from the claimant and the lack of any potential explanation for his failure to attend I decided that it was in the interests of justice to dismiss the claim.[3]The claimant has brought another claim which is in almost identical terms to this one (case number 3304462/2024). That claim is listed for a case management hearing on 18 March 2025 and for a final hearing on 14, 15,16 and 17 October 2025. The hearing on 18 March 2025 in relation to that claim remains listed for case management. Approved by:
