Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a public preliminary hearing, the tribunal considered the respondent's application to strike out the claims on the basis that they had no reasonable prospects of success under Rule 37(1)(a), or alternatively for a deposit order on the basis that the claims had little reasonable prospect of success under Rule 39(1).

The tribunal refused both applications. It did not determine the substantive merits of the claims, and the full merits hearing remained listed. Reasons were given orally, with written reasons available only if requested under the tribunal's procedure.

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.
