Claimant v Concept Golf Lexden Wood Limited (in Voluntary Liquidation)
Outcome
Individual claims
Claimant failed to attend the hearing despite reasonable efforts to contact him and failed to provide any supporting documentation for his claim. Insolvency practitioner confirmed claimant had applied to Redundancy Payments Service. Dismissed under rule 47 for non-pursuit.
Claimant failed to attend the hearing and provided no evidence to support the claim. The tribunal determined insufficient evidence had been provided and dismissed the claim given the claimant had applied to the Redundancy Payments Service.
Claimant did not attend hearing and supplied no calculation or documents to support the claim despite notice of hearing stipulating this requirement. Dismissed for non-pursuit under rule 47.
Facts
The claimant was made redundant when his employer entered voluntary liquidation on 14 May 2025. He claimed £1,423.30 for arrears of pay and holiday pay. The insolvency practitioner confirmed the claimant had submitted a claim to the Redundancy Payments Service. The claimant failed to attend the hearing on 14 August 2025, abruptly ending a telephone call from the tribunal clerk and not responding to further attempts at contact. He also failed to provide any documentation to support his claims despite the notice of hearing requiring this.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all claims under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 for non-pursuit. The judge was satisfied reasonable efforts had been made to contact the claimant and determined insufficient evidence had been provided to support the claims, particularly given the claimant had already applied to the Redundancy Payments Service.
Practical note
Claimants must attend hearings and provide supporting evidence for their claims; failure to engage with the tribunal process, particularly where alternative statutory remedies are available, will result in dismissal for non-pursuit under rule 47.
