Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 10 November 2021, the tribunal gave the representative of Mr Abbott’s estate an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because the tribunal’s order of 11 July 2021 had not been complied with. The estate did not make written representations, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
Employment Judge Brace therefore struck out the claim on 25 November 2021. The judgment records no findings on the underlying merits and no award of compensation or other remedy.

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.
