Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the claim. It had written to Mr C Bell on 24 November 2023 warning that the claim might be struck out because it had not been actively pursued and giving him an opportunity to explain why it should not be struck out.

Mr Bell did not respond. The Tribunal noted that his earlier correspondence of 14 November 2023 suggested that he did not object to the claim being struck out. In those circumstances, the Tribunal concluded that it was in the interests of justice to strike out the claim.

The hearing listed for 15 January 2024 to 18 January 2024 was vacated and did not take place.

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.
