Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy an order made by Employment Judge Hena on 7 June 2024 and issued on 11 June 2024, the tribunal gave Mr J Northall an opportunity to make written representations or to request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The stated basis was that the claim had not been actively pursued because he failed to attend the preliminary hearing listed for 7 June 2024 and had provided no reason for his non-attendance.
Mr Northall did not make any written representations and did not request a hearing. Employment Judge Britton therefore struck out the claim on 14 October 2024. The reasons record that the hearing fixed for 21 October 2024 would not take place.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
