Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 5 May 2020, the claimant was directed to provide further particulars of his claim by 2 June 2020. No particulars were lodged, and a reminder was issued on 19 June 2020.
The claimant did not lodge further documents before the next preliminary hearing on 14 July 2020 and did not attend that hearing. The Tribunal then asked him to confirm whether he intended to pursue the claim and to explain his non-attendance by 28 July 2020, but no reply was received.
On 13 August 2020, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 27 August 2020, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing, and the Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 on the basis that it had not been actively pursued.

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.
