Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a rule 37 strike-out judgment in which Employment Judge Robertson struck out the claim. The Tribunal recorded that, by letter dated 12 November 2019, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations as to why the claim should not be struck out because it had not been actively pursued, following an earlier order dated 16 April 2019.
The claimant did not make any representations. The Tribunal found that he had taken no action to obtain the administrators' consent to pursue the claim since April 2019. On that basis, the claim was not being actively pursued.
The Tribunal concluded that it was not in the interests of justice to keep the claim in abeyance and therefore struck it out. No monetary award was 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.
