Facts
Claimant brought claims of disability discrimination (discrimination arising from disability and harassment), wrongful dismissal, and failure to provide statement of terms and conditions against her former employer Merevale House Ltd and individual respondent Lynsey Colcough. The case proceeded to a hearing via video platform on 9 December 2025 but the claimant did not attend.
Decision
Employment Judge Gidney dismissed all claims due to the claimant's non-attendance at the hearing. The respondents were represented by solicitor Mr Alex Payton. The tribunal concluded the claimant had failed to pursue her claims.
Practical note
A claimant's failure to attend a tribunal hearing without explanation will result in the dismissal of all claims for non-pursuit, even where disability discrimination is alleged.
