D Lynton v M Williams: 2303562/2022
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out for failure to comply with the Tribunal’s directions and because the claim has not been actively pursued.REASONS
[1]The claimant failed to attend the hearing of this claim on 18 April 2023.[2]An order was given on 19 April 2023 requiring that she write to the Tribunal explaining her failure to attend and her failure to comply with the Tribunal’s previous orders dated 1 November 2022, setting out the steps needed to prepare for that hearing.[3]The deadline for responding to that order was 11 May 2023. No reply has been received.[4]By email dated 31 May 2023 the claimant’s representative wrote to say that there was a confusion of cases and case numbers and that no communication had been received from the Tribunal since this claim was lodged.[5]The Tribunal’s records however show that the original order dated 1 November 2022 was sent to the email address used by the representative, as were the connection details for the hearing. This explanation is therefore not accepted.
