Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a Rule 37 strike-out judgment in which the tribunal struck out the claim because it had not been actively pursued. By letter dated 28 September 2020, the tribunal invited the claimant to make written representations or request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment was signed by Employment Judge S Jenkins on 21 December 2020 and sent to the parties on 11 January 2021.

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.
