1. Neither the claimant nor the respondent attended the hearing of this matter on Wednesday 20 August 2014.
2. Having regard to the claimant's failure to attend the hearing of her claim or to provide a written explanation for her non attendance we are not satisfied that there was a good reason for the claimant's failure to appear at the hearing and prosecute her claim.
3. In these circumstances we considered the information contained in the claim form and the response as required by rule 27(6) of the Industrial Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (as amended) and concluded that the claimant's claim should be dismissed.
4. The claimant's claim is therefore dismissed.
