[1]On 28 March 2024, the Tribunal wrote to the claimant to inform him that no response to his claim had been presented and to ask him to provide further information in support of his claim and set out the remedy sought.

No reply was received.[3]On 23 May 2024, the Tribunal issued a reminder to the claimant asking him to reply by 30 May 2024. The claimant was informed that a further failure to reply may result in a strike out warning. No reply was received. 3. On 6 June 2024 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to give written reasons by 20 June 2024 or to request a hearing in order to consider why the claim should not be struck out.[4]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 claim.
