Mr M Martin v Longridge Timber Ltd: 2401027/2021
JUDGMENT
[1]The claimant did not attend and had offered no prior explanation or warning of his absence. Attempts were made to contact him by telephone, but he did not respond. In the circumstances the hearing proceeded under Rule 47.[2]I am satisfied that the claimant had been given notice of this hearing and that it was his opportunity to make representations about whether his claim should be struck out.[3]Having heard representations from the respondent for the reasons given at the time, the claimant’s claim in respect of unfair dismissal is struck out on the basis that:a. The claimant has failed to comply with Tribunal orders requiring him to explain on what basis he seeks to claim unfair dismissal without 2 years service – Rule 37(1)(c);b. It has not been actively pursued;c. The Tribunal considers that it is no longer possible to have a fair hearing in respect of the claim 6.2 Strike out Judgment – claim - rule 37 Case Number: 2401027/2021
