Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal did not determine the merits of the underlying claims. After a preliminary hearing on 31 March 2021, Employment Judge Roper ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £500. The order was sent to the claimant on 6 April 2021.
On 9 June 2021, REJ Pirani wrote to the parties noting that the deposit had not been paid and that the tribunal had not received an application to amend the claim. The hearing listed for 10 June 2021 was vacated and the parties were told that the claim could be struck out if no objection was received within 14 days.
The claimant did not pay the deposit, and the tribunal struck out the claim under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. No remedy was awarded.

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.
