Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that, following a preliminary hearing on 24 June 2019, the claimant was ordered to pay a deposit of £500.00. The order was sent to the claimant on 4 July 2019.

Because the claimant failed to pay the deposit, the tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The hearing listed for 9 to 11 December 2019 was cancelled.

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.
