Claimant v Andrew Brownhill trading as Bridge Resource
Outcome
Individual claims
Claim dismissed under Rule 47 due to claimant's failure to attend the evidential remedies hearing on 20 February 2025, with no information indicating the claimant wished to pursue the claim.
Facts
This was a remedies hearing scheduled for 20 February 2025 following a previous hearing on 17 December 2024. The claimant failed to attend the remedies hearing. Her previous solicitor attended as a courtesy to explain he could no longer secure instructions from the claimant. The respondent had not filed an ET3 and did not attend. No information was available indicating the claimant wished to pursue the claim.
Decision
The Tribunal dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 due to the claimant's non-attendance at the remedies hearing and the absence of any information indicating she wished to continue pursuing her claim.
Practical note
A claimant's failure to attend a remedies hearing without explanation, even where the respondent has not engaged, can result in dismissal of the claim under Rule 47.
