Therefore, the claimant is not entitled to bring these complaints.[4]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason, despite being given the opportunity to do so, why the complaint should not be struck out.[5]Accordingly, the complaints of unfair dismissal and the right to a redundancy payment are struck out. The claimant’s other complaints (notice pay, holiday pay arrears of pay) are not affected by this judgment.
