Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for race discrimination and arrears of pay arising from his employment as a kitchen assistant from 18-23 March 2025. The claimant failed to attend a preliminary case management hearing on 23 April 2026, and the tribunal dismissed the claim under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.

Why this outcome?

Non-compliance with orders

The claimant failed to attend the preliminary hearing on 23 April 2026 without providing reasons. The tribunal exercised its discretion under rule 47 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 to dismiss the claim, considering that the claimant had been aware of the hearing, failed to provide the required case management agenda form, did not respond to contact attempts, and the respondent company had been dissolved on 7 April 2026.
