Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a rule 37 strike-out judgment in Miss H Westlake v Torfaen County Borough Social Care & Housing. By letter dated 1 July 2019, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations, or request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued. The tribunal recorded that the claimant did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment does not contain findings on the substantive employment claims or any liability issues, and it records no monetary award.

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.
