Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim. It had written to the claimant on 17 November 2021 giving an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing about why the claim should not be struck out because the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 1 October 2021 and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The judgment records that the claimant failed to attend the preliminary hearing on 28 September 2021 and the hearing on 1 November 2021, which was to determine whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claim, without explanation. The claimant failed to make written representations, or sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The claim was therefore struck out.

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.
