Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with the case on a procedural basis only. Employment Judge George Date recorded that a preliminary hearing on 29 September 2022 had ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £200. The order was sent on 31 October 2022. The claimant did not pay the deposit and did not apply for reconsideration of the order.
The judgment notes that the claimant's representative wrote on 9 December 2022 and said that a communication of 13 November 2022 was their response to the deposit order, but that communication did not amount to an application for reconsideration of the deposit order or for further time to pay. Because the deposit was not paid, the case was struck out under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The judgment states that the hearing fixed for 13 January 2023 would still take place, and that the judgment did not affect case no. 3313873/2021. No merits findings or remedy award were made in this judgment.

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.
