Claimant v Avid Personnel Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant failed to appear at the hearing and did not provide representation. The tribunal heard evidence from the respondent and determined that the complaint of failure to make payments in respect of annual leave should be dismissed.
Facts
Mr Mark Davies brought a claim against Avid Personnel Limited for failure to make payments in respect of annual leave. The claimant failed to appear at the hearing scheduled for 30 October 2025, which was conducted by video. The respondent was represented by a trainee litigation consultant who attended the hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge S Jenkins dismissed the claimant's complaint of failure to make payments in respect of annual leave. The decision was made following a hearing at which the claimant did not appear or provide any representation, while the respondent was present and represented.
Practical note
A claimant's failure to attend a tribunal hearing can result in their claim being dismissed on the merits even where the claim concerns a substantive employment right such as holiday pay.
