Mr J Kelly v Cordant Recruitment Ltd: 2408519/2020
REASONS
[1]The claimant failed to attend or be represented at a case management hearing on 24 May 2021. No explanation had been provided and no other application made.[2]The Tribunal of its own initiative issued a strike out warning under rule 37.[3]The claimant was given a reasonable opportunity in accordance with rule 37(2) to make representations in writing or to request a hearing before the claim was struck out. Any such representations or request were to be made by the claimant by writing to the Tribunal (with a copy to the respondent) within 28 days of the date on which that warning was sent to the parties.[4]The claimant was asked to explain his non-attendance and to confirm whether or not his claim was being actively pursued despite his non-attendance. He would also have to explain how he believed that his claim had a reasonable prospect of success in the light of the respondent’s defence to it. A failure to do so within that time would result in an order striking out the claim.[5]The claimant has not replied to this warning in time or at all. Accordingly, the claim is now struck out.
