Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was ordered at a case management hearing to explain why he had not attended the hearing listed for 6 March 2023 and to confirm whether he intended to pursue or withdraw the claim. The order stated that failure to comply would result in the claim being struck out without a further hearing under Rule 37(1)(d).
The claimant did not comply with the order and sent no correspondence to the Tribunal after the order was sent to the parties. The respondent applied for strike out, and the claimant did not respond. The claim was struck out on the ground that it had not been actively pursued.

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.
