Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike-out judgment, not a merits decision. The Tribunal recorded that by letter dated 31 December 2019 the claimant was given an opportunity to make representations, or request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out because he had not complied with the Tribunal's order of 12 November 2019 and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make written representations, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Lancaster ordered that the claim be struck out under rule 37.
The judgment also records that the hearing fixed for 23 to 26 March 2020 would not take place. No remedy, findings on liability, or monetary award were recorded.

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.
