Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy email dated 17 June 2020, the tribunal gave Mr C Odukoya an opportunity to write by 4 pm on 25 June 2020, or to request a hearing, as to why the claim should not be struck out. The reasons given were that he had not complied with case management orders 2 and 3 issued after the hearing on 26 May 2020, and that the claim had not been actively pursued.
The judgment records that Mr Odukoya did not attend the 26 May 2020 hearing, did not answer his phone when the judge called him that day, and was left a voicemail. It also records that he had not written to the tribunal or the respondent since then to explain his absence or to comply with directions.
Because the claimant did not make any written representations and did not request a hearing, the tribunal struck out the claim. The hearing listed for 8 July 2020 did not take place, and the judgment does not determine the underlying merits of any substantive complaint.

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.
