Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37. In a letter dated 27 January 2020, the tribunal had given the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on the basis that the claim appeared not to be actively pursued.

The claimant did not make representations in writing and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore ordered that the claim be struck out. No findings on the substantive merits of the claim and no remedy award are recorded in the judgment.

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.
