Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Following a preliminary hearing on 22 February 2023, the claimant was ordered to pay a deposit of £525.00. The order was sent to the claimant on 28 March 2023.

The claimant did not pay the deposit. The tribunal therefore struck out the allegations or arguments identified in the case summary under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The extracted judgment records no substantive findings on the merits of the underlying allegations and no monetary award beyond the unpaid deposit order.

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.
