Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37. The respondents had applied by letter dated 31 March 2022, saying the claimant had not complied with tribunal orders and had not responded to their communications since 28 February 2022. The tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to respond by letter dated 5 April 2022, and then sent a reminder on 22 April 2022, but the claimant did not reply to either communication.
The tribunal recorded that neither the respondents nor the tribunal had had any contact from the claimant for over three months, and that the hearing was listed for 11 July 2022. It found that the claimant had failed to comply with tribunal orders dated 14 December 2021 and had not actively pursued the claim. The tribunal held that it was proportionate to strike out the claim for the reasons set out in the respondents' application.

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.
