Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been ordered to pay a deposit of £500 following a preliminary hearing held on 5 February 2020, and that the order was sent to the claimant on 10 February 2020.

The claimant failed to pay the deposit. The tribunal therefore struck out the complaint of disability discrimination under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment stated that the claimant's remaining claims would proceed to hearing.

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.
