Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the claim. It had written to the claimant on 20 February 2020 giving an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out.

The stated reasons were that the claimant had not complied, as amended, with the Tribunal's order dated 5 December 2019, and that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant failed to make written representations, failed to make sufficient representations, or failed to request a hearing. The hearing listed for 3 April 2020 was therefore cancelled.

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.
