Claimant v Mr J Tilford Dack
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was brought by the employer 24 Eco Limited as claimant against the employee Mr Dack as respondent. Neither party attended the hearing. The tribunal dismissed the claim as not well founded under Rule 47.
Facts
This was an unusual case where an employer, 24 Eco Limited, brought a claim against its employee, Mr J Tilford Dack, as respondent. Neither party attended the hearing scheduled by CVP on 14 February 2025. The tribunal had limited information available to determine the nature of the employer's claim.
Decision
Employment Judge Harrington dismissed the claim under Rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, finding it not well founded. Neither party appeared at the hearing, and the claim brought by the employer failed.
Practical note
Employers cannot successfully pursue tribunal claims against employees without attending hearings and substantiating their claims, and such claims are rare and face dismissal if not properly prosecuted.
