Facts

The claimant failed to comply with this order.
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 failed to provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing following the unless order.
