Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunal Rules on the ground that it had not been actively pursued.
After the claimant's solicitor withdrew from acting, the Tribunal wrote to the claimant asking for his intentions about the future conduct of the proceedings and then sent a reminder. No response was received.
On 9 April 2018 the Tribunal gave the claimant until 23 April 2018 to provide written reasons or 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, and 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.
