The Applicant has failed to respond to the Direction given by Judge Martynski on 22 October 2021 that they must provide a copy of the full Particulars of Claim. It has failed to provide email details of a specific individual dealing with this case, to whom a follow up request can be made. No response has been received at all to the tribunal's email of 22 October 2021. In the circumstances, the case management hearing must be adjourned.”
“The failings on the part of the claimant had plainly forced an adjournment and considerable extra effort for the Tribunal.”
