Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal issued a warning letter on 24 January 2026 saying it was considering striking out the claim because, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, it appeared the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing, but did not reply.
Because there was no response, Employment Judge Andrews ordered that the claim be struck out. The judgment does not set out any substantive determination of the underlying merits, nor does it record any remedy, as the matter ended at the strike-out stage on 14 March 2026.

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.
