Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Gould's claim against the Royal Academy of Music was struck out at a hearing in London Central on 26 November 2025 before Employment Judge E Burns sitting alone. The claimant did not attend, and the respondent was represented by counsel, Jonathan Cook.
The tribunal struck out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 38(1)(c) because the claimant had not complied with tribunal orders. In the alternative, and/or in addition, the tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 38(1)(d) because it had not been actively pursued.
The judgment records no substantive findings on liability and no award of compensation or other remedy.

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.
