Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis decision is limited to reconsideration of the earlier strike-out. Regional Employment Judge JL Wade recorded that the judgment striking out the claim sent on 31 December 2021 was revoked under rule 72. The reason given was that the claimant had explained that the claim was actively pursued and that the warning about strike out had not been received.
The tribunal accepted that explanation and said it was satisfied that the claimant had every intention of pursuing the claim. No findings were made on the substantive employment claims, and no remedy was awarded in this decision.

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.
