Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 29 March 2021, the Tribunal gave Mr N U Obou de Bessou an opportunity to make representations, or request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out. The stated reasons were that the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 1 October 2020 and that the claim was not being actively pursued.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations explaining why strike out should not follow, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Webster ordered that the claim be struck out.
The judgment does not determine the merits of any substantive employment claim and records that any further hearings listed will not take place.

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.
