Case Summary
The claimant failed to attend a preliminary hearing scheduled for 10:00 on 15 April 2026 to determine jurisdictional time limit issues. Although the claimant submitted last-minute applications requesting a delayed start and remote hearing participation due to health concerns, the tribunal refused these applications due to their timing, lack of supporting medical evidence, and potential prejudice to the respondent. When the claimant failed to attend by 12:00 as subsequently indicated, the tribunal dismissed the claim under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.
Why this outcome?
Non-compliance with ordersThe claim was dismissed because the claimant failed to attend the hearing at the notified start time of 10:00 and subsequently failed to appear by 12:00 despite being informed that her applications for a delayed start and remote participation had been refused. The tribunal found that the claimant had effectively taken control of the proceedings by not travelling to the hearing venue, making it impossible to proceed with the full day required for a fair hearing, and that further adjournment would cause undue delay and tripled costs for the respondent.
