Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a rule 37 strike-out judgment. The Tribunal recorded that, by a letter dated 16 November 2023, the claimant was given an opportunity to make representations, or to request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out for failure to comply with Tribunal orders dated 13 July 2023 and 15 November 2023 requiring the claimant to send his witness statement to the Respondent and the Tribunal, and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the Tribunal struck out the claim. No findings were made on the substantive merits of the underlying claim, and no remedy was awarded.
The judgment also records that the hearing listed for 14 and 15 December 2023 would not take place.

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.
