Facts
Mr Waters brought an employment claim against Barnett's Coaches Limited.

The claimant failed to respond to this letter or make any representations.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim because the claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's letter giving him an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. The claim had not been actively pursued by the claimant.
Practical note
