Decision
The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the grounds that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant had been given an opportunity to explain or request a hearing but failed to provide an acceptable reason or make such a request.
