Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 10 December 2020, the Tribunal gave Mr Kayser an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing about why his claim should not be struck out after he had failed to comply with letters dated 26 November and 7 December 2020. He did not make any written representations and had not contacted the Tribunal at all since the claim was issued, so the claim was struck out.
The Respondent's Response dated 4 June 2020 included an employer's counterclaim. The Tribunal sent notice of that counterclaim on 1 July 2020 and gave Mr Kayser 28 days to respond, but no response was received within that period or at all. The Tribunal therefore entered judgment for the Respondent on the counterclaim under rule 21, with reference to rule 25, and awarded the Respondent £393.40 in compensation. The hearing listed for 16 December 2020 did not take place.

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.
