Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims including unfair dismissal, disability discrimination, notice pay, holiday pay and arrears of pay. After a preliminary hearing, the claimant was ordered to provide further specification, including why the unfair dismissal claim could proceed without two years' qualifying service and details of the disability discrimination claim, but the tribunal found that he had not complied with those orders.
The claimant did not attend the later case management hearing or the open preliminary hearing listed to address strike out. The tribunal found that the claims were no closer to being ready for a hearing, that there was no realistic prospect of the case proceeding to a fair trial, and that the claim was not being actively pursued.
The claimant's claims were struck out under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The respondent's contract claim was granted because no defence had been lodged, and the claimant was ordered to pay the respondent 2192.60.

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.
