Mr C Colegrove v RJCC Events: 3306788/2018
JUDGMENT
[1]The Claimant’s claim is dismissed under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, Schedule 1.REASONS
[1]This matter came before me today as a full merits hearing set down in the Reading Employment Tribunal.[2]The notice of hearing had been sent to the parties on 11 May 2018. The matter was allocated a one hour hearing slot due to commence this morning at 10.00 am.[3]Neither party has attended and no explanation has been received by the Tribunal for that non-attendance. 2. In the absence of any cogent explanation for non-attendance, I dismiss the claim on the basis of rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, Schedule 1.[4]I had two matters listed before me at 10.00 am today. One proceeded timeously at 10.00 am. The other was this matter and accordingly I was not in a position to make enquiries as to why there had been non-attendance by both parties.[5]Nevertheless, the first hearing continued until mid-afternoon and there was ample time for the Claimant and the Respondent in this matter to attend. Page 1 of 2 Case No: 3306788/2018[6]Neither has done so and no notification to the Tribunal has been made by either party.[7]On the basis of the information available to me, I dismiss the Claimant’s claim.
