Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Adelino Fernandes de Abreu's claim against Victory Partnerships and Olivia Berries Catering Ltd. It did not determine the merits of the unfair dismissal, redundancy pay, unlawful deduction from wages, or breach of contract claims.
The Tribunal had written to the claimant on 14 May 2025 warning that it was considering strike-out under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued. The letter allowed the claimant to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but the claimant did not reply. Employment Judge Andrews was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that strike-out accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. No remedy was awarded, and the hearing listed for 29 July 2026 was cancelled.

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.
