Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant was Mr V Barker and the respondent was Outstanding Branding Ltd (In Liquidation). In a judgment dated 12 January 2023, Employment Judge McLaren struck out the claim. The reason given was that, after a letter dated 10 November 2022, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued.
The tribunal found that the claimant failed to make representations in writing, or failed to make any sufficient representations, and also failed to request a hearing. On that basis, the claim was struck out. No substantive liability findings or monetary award were recorded in the judgment.

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.
