Mr J Mahay v Jet2Holidays Ltd: 1804421/2019
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The Claimant failed to attend a Preliminary Hearing on 8 October 2019. When asked for an explanation for his non-attendance, the Claimant said that he had not received the Notice of Hearing and that this had been sent to his old postal address. The Notice of Hearing had in fact been sent to the Claimant by e-mail.[2]By a letter dated 9 October 2019 to the Claimant’s new postal address the Tribunal gave him an opportunity to make representations or to request a Hearing, as to why the claim should not be struck out because it has not been actively pursued and/or has been conducted unreasonably. The Tribunal also gave the Claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a Hearing as to why his claim of unfair dismissal should not be struck out because he did not have the two years’ service with the Respondent to qualify to bring that claim.[3]The Claimant has failed to make any representations or to request a Hearing. The claim is therefore struck out.
