Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 24 April 2023, the Tribunal gave Somerset Tavern Ltd an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why its response should not be struck out. The reasons identified were that the respondent had not complied with the Tribunal's order of 6 February 2023 and that the matter had not been actively pursued.
The respondent did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Midgley ordered that the response be struck out.
The judgment states that the respondent remains entitled to notice of any hearings and decisions of the Tribunal, but may only participate in any hearing to the extent permitted by the Employment Judge. No substantive liability findings or remedy award are recorded 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.
