Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed for final hearing by CVP on 16 and 17 August 2023. On 11 August 2023 the respondent applied to strike out the claim on the basis that the case was not ready for hearing because of the claimant's non-compliance with Tribunal case management orders. The claimant did not respond to that application.
The claimant did not attend the final hearing on 16 August 2023 and did not contact either the Tribunal or the respondent. The Tribunal emailed and telephoned him, but he did not respond. The claimant had also not completed disclosure or exchanged witness statements with the respondent before the hearing.
Employment Judge Platt struck out the claim under rule 37 on the grounds that the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's orders dated 16 May 2023, had not attended the final hearing, and had not actively pursued the claim. The hearing fixed for 16 and 17 August 2023 did not take place and no monetary award was made.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record. See full methodology.
