Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 7 July 2020, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the complaint of defamation of character and slander should not be struck out for lack of jurisdiction. The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
Employment Judge Miller therefore struck out the complaint of defamation of character and slander. The judgment records no merits determination, and the only recorded basis for the disposal was that the Employment Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear those complaints.

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.
