JUDGMENT

The complaint of Unfair Dismissal is struck out.

REASONS

[1]By a letter dated 21 January 2020, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the complaint of unfair dismissal should not be struck out because the Claimant was employed for less than two years.[2]The claimant has failed to make representations in writing why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The complaint of unfair dismissal is therefore struck out.[3]The claimant’s remaining claim in respect of unauthorised deductions from wages and holiday pay remains listed for hearing on a date yet to be determined. Employment Judge Maidment 27 February 2020[1]The claimant has failed to comply with the Order made at the hearing conducted on 12 May 2020 and so has not explained his failure to attend that hearing and has not indicated that he wishes to proceed with his claim.[2]The Order warned the claimant that any failure to reply would lead to his claim being struck out without further notice.

The claimant’s contention that he did not know he had to attend and that he thought ‘someone else’ would go on his behalf is implausible.[2]The claimant has failed to comply with paragraphs 1.3 and 1.4 of the Order made on 12 May 2020.
