Facts
Mr Morland brought an employment claim against HMRC. The tribunal sent him a letter on 6 February 2025 giving him an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why his claim should not be struck out for non-pursuit. A full merits hearing was scheduled for 24-28 March 2025.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim because the claimant failed to respond to the tribunal's letter or make any representations as to why the claim should continue. The scheduled hearing was cancelled.
Practical note
