Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr J Connop's complaint of disability discrimination. It recorded that, by letter dated 10 December 2019, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because he had not complied with the tribunal's order dated 14 October 2019 and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The tribunal found that the claimant had failed to make representations in writing, had failed to make sufficient representations against strike out, or had failed to request a hearing. It therefore struck out the claim under rule 37. The hearing fixed for 16 March 2020 was vacated and did 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.
