Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt with a single complaint of disability discrimination brought by Mr A Davies-Thomas against Rentokil Initial UK Limited. By a letter dated 10 February 2023, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out for failure to comply with paragraph 2 of the case management order dated 16 December 2022.
The tribunal found that the claimant failed to make representations in writing, or failed to make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, it struck out the disability discrimination complaint.
Because the claim was struck out, the preliminary hearing listed for 3 March 2023 and the hearing fixed for 27 to 29 June 2023 were not to take place. No monetary remedy was recorded in the 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.
