THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS

CASE REF:	2520/06

CLAIMANT:			Agne Miseviciute

RESPONDENTS:		1.  Industrial Temps R2
2.  Down Lisburn Health and Social Services Trust

DECISION ON A PRE-HEARING REVIEW

The correct respondent is Industrial Temps R2.

Constitution of Tribunal:

Chairman:		Ms Knight (Sitting Alone)

Appearances:

The claimant was not represented and did not appear.

The first-named respondent was represented by Mr T Sheridan of Peninsula Business Services.

The second-named respondent was represented by Ms P Rooney of Carson and McDowell, Solicitors.

The issue before the tribunal was to determine the correct respondent in this claim.

The claimant did not appear and was not represented.  The Chairman was satisfied that the claimant was aware of the date of the pre-hearing review and that she had not contacted the Office of the Tribunals to provide a reason for her non attendance.  In view of this the Chairman decided to dispose of the preliminary issue in the absence of the claimant pursuant to Regulation 27 (5) of the Industrial Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005.

The Chairman considered the claimant’s originating claim, the responses by the respondents and correspondence sent to the tribunal by the parties.  After hearing submissions by Mr Sheridan on behalf of the first-named respondent, the Chairman was satisfied that the correct respondent is Industrial Temps R2 and there is no reason for the Down Lisburn Health and Social Services Trust to be a party to these proceedings.  The second-named respondent is therefore dismissed as a party to these proceedings.

A Case Management Discussion shall now be arranged to make arrangements for the hearing of this case.

Chairman:

Date and place of hearing:	31 May 2007, Belfast.
