Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Miss S May's claim against Swale Academies Trust was struck out. The tribunal wrote to the claimant on 24 January 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because it appeared that the claim had not been actively pursued.

The letter gave Miss May an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. She did not reply. Employment Judge Andrews therefore struck out the claim on 25 January 2026. The judgment records no 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.
