Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was submitted on 6 April 2023. At a preliminary hearing on 1 December 2023 it was recorded that the claimant sought to bring complaints of unfair constructive dismissal, harassment related to race, and breach of contract / unlawful deduction from wages.
The tribunal found that the claimant had not attended the 30 August 2024 case management preliminary hearing, had not replied to the strike out warning, and had chosen not to read tribunal correspondence after 19 May 2024. It concluded that the claimant had intentionally delayed the proceedings and that the claim had not been actively pursued.
Considering the overriding objective, delay, prejudice to the respondent, increased costs, and whether an alternative such as an unless order would be appropriate, the tribunal struck out the claim. It did not determine the respondent's separate strike out application because it was unnecessary to do so.

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.
