Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr M Cooper's claim against Kingstown Furniture Ltd [In Administration] was struck out by Employment Judge D N Jones on 12 February 2020. The tribunal recorded that, by a letter dated 13 January 2020, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out.
The stated basis for the proposed strike out was that the claim had not been actively pursued. The tribunal found that the claimant had failed to make representations in writing, or had not made any sufficient representations, explaining why strike out should not follow, and had not requested a hearing.
On that basis, the tribunal was satisfied that a fair hearing was no longer possible and struck the claim out. The extracted judgment does not determine any substantive liability issue or record any 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.
