Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the ground that it had not been actively pursued.
The Tribunal recorded that it had received no recent communication from the claimant. It wrote to the claimant on 17 May 2021 and 24 May 2021 without receiving a reply, and the respondent's representative applied on 28 May 2021 for the claim to be struck out.
On 1 June 2021 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 12 noon on 3 June 2021, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason or request a hearing, so the Tribunal struck out the claim.

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.
