Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr A Bonner’s claim. The reasons record that he had been ordered by Employment Judge James on 27 June 2023 to send his documents and witness statement to BOC Ltd, but he did not comply. He asked for extensions of time and referred to his mental health, but did not provide medical evidence in support of those requests.
On 22 September 2023, Employment Judge Cox refused the most recent extension application and noted the absence of medical evidence. She told the claimant that he had to comply with the witness statement order without further delay, but he still did not do so. That led to a strike-out warning on 10 October 2023.
The judgment records that the claimant did not make representations objecting to strike out and did not request a hearing on that issue. Employment Judge Davies concluded that, in those circumstances, strike out was consistent with the overriding objective. No merits findings or remedy assessment were made.

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.
