Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Mr P Baxter's claim because he failed to actively pursue it. In the reasons, the Employment Tribunal recorded that it had written to the claimant on 28 April 2021 giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing before any strike out decision was made.
The Tribunal noted that the claimant had sent a letter dated 8 April 2021 saying that he would like the Tribunal to 'remove this case from your listing'. It also recorded that the Tribunal wrote again on 26 April 2021 asking him to clarify whether he was withdrawing his Employment Tribunal claim by return.
The claimant did not respond and did not attend the Preliminary Hearing listed for 10:00 am on 28 April 2021. The Tribunal found that he had failed to make written representations, or any sufficient representations, as to why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing. It therefore struck out the claim. No remedy was awarded.

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.
