Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claimant's claim after giving him an opportunity, by letter dated 3 February 2022, to make representations or request a hearing on why strike out should not follow. The stated grounds were that the claimant had not complied with the tribunal's orders contained in the letter of 1 November 2021 and/or that the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make written representations and did not request a hearing. In the absence of any response, the tribunal struck out the claim. The hearing fixed for 1 March 2023 was vacated and did not take place.
No substantive merits findings or remedy awards were recorded in the judgment.

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.
