The claimant’s other complaints are not affected by this judgment. Employment Judge Leach Date: 11 October 2023[1]By a letter dated 5 March 2024, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing, as to why the claims for a preparation order and holiday pay should not be struck out because they have not been 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. Therefore, the claims for a preparation order and holiday pay are struck out.
