I am satisfied that the parties were notified of the date of the hearing on the 15^th.Feb.2016. In the circumstances I find the claimant’s failure to attend the hearing to be unreasonable and I find that any obligation under Section 79 (1) has ceased .As no evidence was presented by the claimant in support of her complaint I conclude the investigation and find against her.
