Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant did not attend a preliminary hearing on 27 September 2023 and was ordered to explain why the claims should not be struck out for not being actively pursued. He responded that he had ongoing health problems and difficulty understanding tribunal correspondence, but did not provide medical evidence despite being ordered to do so.
The tribunal accepted from the claimant's account that his mental health was not good, but found that fairness and justice had to be considered from the point of view of both parties. Employment Judge James concluded that the claims were not being actively pursued, there was no indication when the claimant might be well enough to pursue them, and the claim should be struck out.

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.
