Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the claim. It recorded that, by a letter dated 8 June 2023, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing about why the claim should not be struck out because he had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 2 May 2023.

The Tribunal found that the claimant had failed to make written representations, or sufficient representations, explaining why strike-out should not occur, and had not requested a hearing. The hearing listed for 13 September 2023 was therefore cancelled.

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.
