Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that Mr O Odukoya did not attend a Preliminary Hearing for Case Management on 2 October 2017 and gave no explanation for his absence. On that date the tribunal made an order giving him an opportunity to make representations about why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued.

No written representations were received and no hearing was requested. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim on the basis that it had not been actively pursued. The judgment does not set out any determination of the merits of the underlying claim(s), only the procedural strike out outcome.

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.
