Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out Miss L Saxton's unfair dismissal complaint. It recorded that, by a letter dated 28 November 2022, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because it had no reasonable prospects of success.

The claimant did not make any representations and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint. The reasons page also notes that the claimant's remaining claim was still listed for hearing on 20 June 2023, with the time estimate reduced to 3 hours.

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.
