Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the open preliminary hearing in Birmingham by CVP on 20 July 2021, Employment Judge Lloyd struck out all of the claimant's claims against Royal Mail Group Limited. The strike out was made under rule 37(1)(b) to (e) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 because the tribunal found that the way the proceedings had been conducted was scandalous, unreasonable or vexatious, the claims had not been actively pursued, and it was no longer possible to have a fair hearing of the claims.
The judgment does not set out any substantive findings on liability for the underlying claims. It disposes of the case at the preliminary stage by striking out the claim in its entirety. The gov.uk listing for the decision identifies the claims as unfair dismissal and breach of contract.
The tribunal also ordered the claimant to pay a contribution of £750 to the respondent's costs. No separate compensatory or basic award was made, and no remedy was awarded on the merits of the dismissed claims.

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.
