Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 12 October 2022, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £225, made up of £75 for each of the three claims. The deposit order was sent to the claimant on 21 October 2022.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. The tribunal therefore struck out the complaints of age discrimination, race discrimination and wrongful dismissal in their entirety under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
No liability findings or remedy assessment were made, and no award was ordered.

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.
