Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 1 March 2024, the tribunal gave Mr L Foster an opportunity to contact the tribunal by 12 April 2024 to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The stated reasons were that the claim had not been actively pursued and that it was no longer possible to have a fair hearing of the claim.
The strike out warning followed previous correspondence from the respondent and the tribunal's letter of 16 November 2023. Mr Foster did not reply to either the 1 March 2024 letter or the 16 November 2023 letter, and he did not contact either the respondent or the tribunal.
The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37. The judgment records that the hearing due to commence on 16 December 2024 would 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.
