Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr K MacDonald presented a claim of unfair dismissal against Eric Wright Water Ltd. The tribunal noted that he appeared not to have 2 years' qualifying service and wrote to him on 23 January 2020 asking him to explain the basis on which he said he could bring an unfair dismissal claim.
The claimant did not reply. The tribunal then gave him a further opportunity on 31 January 2020 to provide written reasons by 14 February 2020 or to request a hearing to consider why the claim should not be struck out.
As the claimant failed to give an acceptable reason or request a hearing, the tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013 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.
