Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike-out decision under rule 37. Employment Judge Emery recorded that, by emails dated 2 February 2024 and 9 February 2024, the tribunal gave Mr. McLean an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out because he had not complied with the tribunal's order of 16 November 2023 and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
Mr. McLean did not make any written representations and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment does not contain any findings on the underlying merits of the pleaded claims or any award of compensation.
The only substantive procedural findings recorded are the failure to comply with the earlier tribunal order and the failure to respond to the tribunal's later invitation before strike-out. The judgment was signed on 12 February 2024 and sent to the parties on 22 February 2024.

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.
