JUDGMENT

[1]On the Claimant’s confirmation that he brings no claim for notice pay, the Respondent’s Employer’s Contract Claim is dismissed on the ground that the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear it.[2]The Hearing of the claim for unpaid wages and holiday pay is adjourned pending receipt of documentation from the Claimant relating to the identity of his employer and the Respondent’s possible administration.

REASONS

[1]On 5 August 2020 the Tribunal adjourned the Hearing of the claim for unpaid wages and holiday pay pending receipt of documentation from the Claimant relating to the identity of his employer and the Respondent’s possible administration, which he agreed at the Hearing to provide within 7 days. The Claimant provided no documentation.[2]On 27 August 2020 the Tribunal wrote to the Claimant asking him to confirm whether he had not provided the required information because he had decided not to pursue the claim. He was asked to reply by 3 September 2020. The Claimant did not respond to that letter.[3]On 11 September 2020 the Tribunal wrote to the Claimant again and warned him that it was considering striking out his claim because he had not provided the required information and appeared not to be actively pursuing his claim. He was asked to provide any objections to the proposal to strike out the claim, or to request a hearing at which he could make them, by 25 September 2020. The Claimant did not respond to that letter.[4]The Tribunal is satisfied that the Claimant is not actively pursuing this claim and that it should be struck out for that reason under Rule 37 of its Rules of Procedure.
