Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal recorded that, after the claimant's solicitor withdrew from acting, it wrote to the claimant seeking his intentions about the future conduct of the proceedings. The Tribunal received no response, and no response followed a reminder.
On 31 May 2017 the Tribunal gave the claimant until 14 June 2017 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing on that issue. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim 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.
