[1]By a letter dated 14 August 2023 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 respond to the Tribunal’s correspondence dated 23 June 2023, requiring him to comment on the Respondent’s application to extend time to present a response. The Claimant failed to attend the Preliminary Hearing on 14 August 2023, and did not notify the Tribunal that he was unable to attend.

The claim is therefore struck out.[3]The hearing fixed for 14-15 December 2023 will not take place.
