JUDGMENT

The claim is struck out.

REASONS

[1]The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 2 June 2026 warning them that the Tribunal was considering striking out the claim. This was because it appeared to the Tribunal, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that  The claimant had not complied with the Order of the Tribunal dated 1 December 2025;  the claim had not been actively pursued[2]The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing at which to do so. The claimant has not replied.[3]I am satisfied that the grounds for striking out the claim under Rule 38 apply, and that it would be in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3 to strike out the claim as in such circumstances a fair trial is not possible on the days when the case has been listed to be heard.[4]The claim is therefore struck out.[5]The hearing listed at the Tribunal on 9-12 June 2026 has been vacated.
