Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing was a case management hearing. The claimant did not attend, was not represented, and sent no submissions. Employment Judge Housego recorded that the claimant had not been heard from for some time. The respondent's external consultant said the claimant had not complied with directions made by Employment Judge Midgely requiring her to prepare and file a statement setting out information about her claimed disability.
The judge noted that the claimant had not included a telephone number on the ET1, so the tribunal was unable to contact her. The reasons also record that the claim contained nothing beyond headline allegations and that the claimant had not engaged with either the tribunal or the respondent since filing the claim. On that basis, and in light of the claimant's non-attendance, the tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 47.
Employment Judge Housego said there was no reason to waste further tribunal or respondent time and that strike out was appropriate in accordance with the Overriding Objective. No remedy was awarded.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disability discrimination | The underlying claim type is inferred from the tribunal's reference to the claimant's 'claimed disability'; the judgment does not set out the substantive allegations. The extracted text also contains inconsistent dates: the heading gives 18 August 2021, while the reasons refer to directions on 02 April 2022 and the judgment was sent on 01 September 2022. | Struck out | Disability | — |

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.
