Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy an order dated 9 February 2024, the Tribunal required Mr Houston to write to the respondent by 16 February 2024 confirming that he had no relevant documents or providing a list and copies of any such documents, and to write to the Tribunal by the same date confirming whether he intended to return to England and Wales for the final hearing listed for 8 March 2024. The Tribunal then sent a letter dated 29 February 2024 giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for non-compliance with that order.
The claimant did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The final hearing listed for 8 March 2024 was vacated and did 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.
