Mr M Bell v Machfab Engineering Ltd: 2415347/2020
JUDGMENT
The claim is struck out.REASONS
[1]The claimant failed to attend a telephone case management hearing on 22 February 2021 before Employment Judge Humble. Employment Judge Humble directed that the claimant should write to the Tribunal within 14 days of the Order being sent to the parties, on 6 March 2021, to explain in full the reasons for his non attendance. The claimant failed to do so.[2]Employment Judge Humble relisted the telephone hearing to 2.15pm on Monday 19 April 2021 and a separate Notice of Hearing was sent to the claimant, both by email and to his postal address. The claimant was warned that if he did not attend the hearing listed on 19 April 2021 and if he failed to provide a good reason for his non attendance at the hearing on 22 February 2021 he risked his claim being struck out for not being actively pursued. Case No: 2415347/2020[3]The claimant failed to make representations in writing as to why he did not attend the hearing on 22 February 2021, and failed to attend the hearing on 19 April 2021 or to give any explanation as to why he would be unable to attend.[4]Therefore, the claim is not being actively pursued. The claim is therefore struck out.
