Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 11 June 2021, the tribunal gave Mr G Barski an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why his breach of contract claim should not be struck out. The reason given was that the Employment Tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider a breach of contract claim because he was still employed by Laing O'Rourke Ltd.
Mr Barski did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Sekhon struck out the claim.
The judgment records no merits determination of the underlying dispute and no monetary 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.
