Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the ground that the claim, or the relevant part of it, had not been actively pursued.
The claimant had been asked at a Preliminary Hearing on 14 October 2017 to provide further information about the claim. The Tribunal recorded that he had failed to do so despite urgent correspondence and opportunities to progress the claim.
On 12 December 2018 the Tribunal gave the claimant until 18 January 2019 to provide written reasons, 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 therefore 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.
