Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By email dated 17 June 2024, the tribunal gave Mrs L Larby an opportunity to make written representations, or to request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out because it had no reasonable prospect of success. The claimant did not make representations, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.

On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment records no merits determination and no award of remedy. It was signed by Employment Judge Volkmer on 10 July 2024 and sent to the parties on 24 July 2024.

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.
