Heard at Croydon
The claim was dismissed because the claimant failed to attend or be represented at the hearing, and the postponement application was refused for lack of supporting evidence and exceptional circumstances.
Legal Issues (1)
- The key legal issues are the application of rule 47 (dismissal for failure to attend) and rule 32 (postponement on medical grounds) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure. The Tribunal considered whether there were exceptional circumstances justifying the failure to provide evidence and whether the claim should be dismissed.
