Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 28 December 2023, the Tribunal gave Mr D Barker an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The Tribunal said this was because he had not replied to the Tribunal's letter of 22 May 2023 about the identity of his employer, had not replied to correspondence dated 11 July or 7 September 2023, and it appeared that the claim was not being actively pursued.
Mr Barker did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. Employment Judge Slater therefore struck out the claim. The reasons section does not record any substantive determination of the underlying claim(s), and no remedy was awarded.

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.
