Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningCase management orders were made in December 2021. On 14 June 2022 the respondent’s representative wrote to the Tribunal, copied to the claimant, stating that the claimant had not complied with any of the orders. The representative said reminders and explanations had been sent on 25 March 2022 and 8 June 2022, but the claimant had not replied. The representative asked the Tribunal to consider striking out the claim or making an unless order, and a further reminder was sent on 20 June 2022.
On 22 June 2022 the Tribunal wrote to the claimant and asked her to explain why the claim should not be struck out, because it appeared she had not complied with Tribunal orders and was not actively pursuing the claim. The claimant did not respond. The Employment Judge found that the claimant had not actively pursued her claim and had entirely failed to comply with the Tribunal’s orders.
The Tribunal held that it was in the interests of justice to strike out the claim. The judgment records that the hearing listed for 1 July 2022 was 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.
