Date 5 July 2021

JUDGMENT

[1]By a letter dated 18 March 2021the Tribunal wrote to the claimant explaining “Employment Tribunals cannot hear and decide on complaints of general dissatisfaction with employment. Complaints must be made within the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunals (for example a complaint of unfair dismissal for unpaid wages, for discrimination under the Equality Act 2010). It is far from clear from the information in the claim form provided what relevant complaints the claimant may have”.

[2]In that letter Employment Judge Leach ordered that the claimant “at least 21 days before the date of the preliminary hearing should provide the respondent and the Tribunal with the following information:(a) The claim or claims that he is bringing that is/are within the jurisdiction of the Employment Tribunal;

(b) The date of the events that have given rise to the claim or claims identified by the claimant together with a brief description of the event or events.”

[3]The claimant has failed to comply.

[4]The claim was listed for a preliminary hearing by video on Monday 5 July 2021, to start at 10.00am. The parties were notified on 18 March 2021. At the time that the hearing was listed to start the claimant had not attempted to join the hearing. Case No. 2413671/2020 The Employment Judge waited until 10.15am but the claimant had not joined nor sent any indication to the Tribunal why he was unable to join.

[5]In the absence of the claimant identifying what type of claim he wished to bring and the claimant having failed to respond to the Tribunal Order of 18 March 2021 and the claimant having failed to join the hearing on 5 July 2021 at 10.00am without sending any explanation or reason why he was unable to attend, the Tribunal has concluded that the claim is not being actively pursued.

[6]The claim is therefore struck out.
