Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary judgment on the respondent's application to strike out the claimant's case under rule 37(1)(b) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure. The respondent said the claimant had acted unreasonably by pursuing repeated and lengthy applications for specific disclosure, including applications said to be premature and unnecessary. The tribunal heard submissions from both parties and considered the history of disclosure correspondence and case management orders.

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.
