Claimant v Legends Leisure Limited
Outcome
Facts
This is a reconsideration application made by the Respondent on 11 April 2025 following a judgment in favour of the Claimant sent to parties on 1 April 2025. The final hearing was held remotely on 1 April 2025 in the Respondent's absence after they applied to postpone citing inability to attend. The Respondent had previously paid the Claimant £1,000 as an ex gratia payment without condition.
Decision
Employment Judge Brace refused the reconsideration application on the basis there was no reasonable prospect of the judgment being varied or revoked. The judge confirmed she had already considered the Respondent's inability to attend and the £1,000 payment when making the original decision to proceed with the hearing in the Respondent's absence.
Practical note
Reconsideration applications will be refused where there is no reasonable prospect of success and matters raised were already properly considered at the original hearing.
