[1]The claimant presented her claim on Wednesday 12 January 2022.[2]The claimant did not attend today, having been advised that she should be present.Relevant Law
[3]Employment Tribunals (Constitution & Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, (the Tribunal Rules) (the 2013 Rules) Rule 47 provides as follows: “47.

Before doing so, it shall consider any information which is available to it, after any enquiries that may be practicable, about the reasons for the parties' absence.” Discussion and Decision[4]I considered all the information which was available to me.
