Employment Judge Robert GallDate 12 September 2017

JUDGMENT

The claims are struck out under rule 37 of the Rules contained in Schedule 1 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 on the grounds that the claims have not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).

REASONS

[1]Following the withdrawal from acting of the claimant’s solicitor, the Tribunal wrote seeking the claimant’s intentions on the future conduct of the proceedings. Nothing was heard and a reminder sent. Still nothing was heard from the claimant.[2]On 3 August 2017 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 17 August 2017 or to request a hearing in order to consider why the claim should not be struck out.[3]The claimant has failed to give an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made or to request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore strikes out the claims.
