Claimant v Bibis Restaurant
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant failed to attend the hearing without reason on 22 July 2025, and the tribunal dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 for non-attendance.
Facts
Ms Rura brought a claim for unlawful deductions from wages against Bibis Restaurant. At the hearing on 22 July 2025, the claimant did not attend, and the respondent was represented by its Finance Manager. The tribunal found that the respondent was not the correct respondent and did not employ the claimant.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the respondent from proceedings under Rule 35 on the basis they were not the correct employer. The claim itself was dismissed under Rule 47 because the claimant failed to attend the hearing without reason.
Practical note
Claimants must ensure they name the correct legal employer as respondent and attend hearings, as failure to do either can result in dismissal of the claim.
