Mr J Doshi v Coca Cola European Partners Great Britain Ltd: 3314808/2020
JUDGMENT
The claimant’s claims are struck out pursuant to Rule 37(1)(d) of The Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, Schedule 1 Employment Tribunals (Constitution & Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.REASONS
The respondent applied to strike out the claimant’s case on 8 July 2021 based on the claimant’s non-compliance with case management orders and his non-response with its solicitors’ numerous attempts to engage with him. On 6 September 2021 Employment Judge R Lewis wrote to the claimant advising him that he was considering striking out his claim as it appeared not to be actively pursued. The claimant was given a time limit in which to object. It has been 1-month since Judge Lewis’ time limit has expired and the Employment Tribunal has not heard from the claimant. I conclude that the claimant’s claim is no longer being actively pursued and, because of his repeated failures to engage with the Tribunal process, I also determine a fair hearing is no longer possible. Consequently, I make the order as set out above.
