Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Gidney on 14 February 2024. The parties agreed to receive the judgment immediately because there was insufficient time to give oral reasons on the day and the final hearing was due to start on 11 March 2024. The respondent also sought correction of the case management order dated 30 May 2023, but that application was withdrawn and no order was made on it.
The tribunal granted the respondent's application for strike out. The claimant's claim was struck out and dismissed. No substantive reasons for the strike out are contained in the extracted judgment text available here, and the judgment notes that full written reasons would follow.
No unless order was made because the claim had been struck out. The tribunal granted the respondent's application for its legal costs caused and/or occasioned by the claimant's failure to comply with the tribunal's orders, and ordered the claimant to pay £4,000.00.

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.
