JUDGMENT

The claim is struck out.

REASONS

[1]By Order dated 27 November 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the claim should not be struck out because:  The claimant failed to attend the preliminary hearing on 21 November 2024 and did not contact the Tribunal to notify her unavailability nor to give a reason for her non-attendance.  The claimant failed to respond to the Tribunal’s messages and the clerk’s attempts to communicate with her regarding the preliminary hearing.  The claimant failed to reply to the respondent’s request, dated 11 July 2024, for further and better particulars of the complaints pursued.  The claimant failed to heed the comments of Employment Judge Cookson in the Tribunal’s letter dated 16 August 2024, nor has she taken any action as a result.  The claimant failed to take any action in response to the directions of Employment Judge Dunlop, in the Tribunal’s letter dated 17 October 2024.  It appears that the claim is not being actively pursued.[2]The claimant has failed to make representations in writing, or has failed to make any sufficient representations, why this should not be done or to request a hearing. The claim is therefore struck out.
