Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity, by letter dated 13 June 2022, to make representations or request a hearing about why the claim should not be struck out on the basis that it had not been actively pursued. The deadline for reply was 20 June 2022.

A hearing had been listed for 8 August 2022 to consider any objection if the claimant replied. The Tribunal recorded that the claimant did not respond by the deadline and that no response had been received as at the date of the judgment. The claim was therefore struck out and the listed hearing 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.
