Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim. In a letter dated 19 May 2023, the claimant was given an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out because he had not complied with the tribunal's order dated 28 February 2023 and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The hearing listed for 1 June 2023 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.
