Mr N Barsby v S Wilson deputy for T Bailey: 6005788/2024
JUDGMENT
The claimant’s claims are struck out pursuant to rule 47 of the Employment Tribunals Procedure Rules 2024.REASONS
[1]This has been a remote hearing by video through HM Courts & Tribunal Service Cloud Video Platform. A face-to-face hearing was not held because all the relevant matters could be determined at this video hearing. I am satisfied that a notice of hearing was set to the claimant and that he was also sent joining instructions and either sent or copied into both Employment Tribunal correspondence and correspondence from the respondent referring to this hearing. So, he either knew, or ought to have known, about the hearing.[2]The claimant did not join the hearing. Case Number: 6005788/2024[3]The claimant had not requested that this hearing be postponed, and I could see no reason to adjourn as if I did so then we would likely face the claimant’s nonattendance at any future hearing. I determined that the claimant had voluntarily absented himself from this hearing.[4]The respondent had sent to the Tribunal a copy of a settlement agreement dated after the Claim Form was issued. The claimant was copied in this email. I am satisfied that the claimant had not bothered attending this hearing because he has resolved his case.[5]The case has not been withdrawn so I strike out proceedings because the claimant did not attend today to pursue matters.
