Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because it had not been actively pursued. The judgment records that on 20 January 2022 the Tribunal wrote to Miss Penn asking for details of the sums claimed, but there was no response.
A further letter was sent on 8 March 2022 warning that strike-out was being considered on the basis that the claim had not been actively pursued and inviting written reasons by 22 March 2022 if she wished to object. The Tribunal then wrote again on 20 May 2022 allowing a further seven days, until 27 May 2022, to provide the requested details.
No details or response were provided after those letters, and Employment Judge Fowell concluded that the claim was not being actively pursued. The judgment does not record any hearing on the merits, any liability findings, or any monetary award.

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.
