[1]On 23 November 2020, the respondent was asked for their comments on further information provided by the claimant and to confirm their view on the suitability of a CVP hearing.

No reply was received from the respondent and on 27 January 2021, the Tribunal directed that the respondent must comply with the previous directions. The respondent was given until 4 February 2021 to respond and was informed that a strike out warning could be issued if they did not comply.
