Ms E Doherty v Jacqueline Phillips, Renfield Business Solutions: 3333457/2018
JUDGMENT
The claim is dismissedREASONS
[1]Neither the claimant nor the respondent appeared or were represented at the hearing.[2]From a note on the file of a telephone conversation between a tribunal clerk and the claimant, it appears that the clerk was informed by the claimant that the respondent is now living in another country and the business of the respondent has been closed. The telephone note indicated that it was not clear whether the claimant would be attending the hearing today.[3]The claim was for the sum of £2,335.00 alleged to be owing by the respondent to the claimant in respect of services performed by her.[4]By a Notice of Hearing for today dated 9 October 2018 the claim was listed for a hearing. No response to the claim was received and the claim was left as listed for today for the claimant to prove the sums claimed.[5]A company search appears to show that there is an active proposal to strike off the respondent from the register. Case Number: 3333457/2018[6]In all the circumstances it appears that for the reasons given the claimant does not intend to proceed with her claim. She was not present at the tribunal either at 10am or at noon when the clerk checked again as to whether or not the claimant was present at the tribunal. In all the circumstances and particularly that I have no way of adjudging whether or not the sum claimed is owed, I struck out the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Constitution and Rules of Procedure Regulations 2013 for non-attendance.
