Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 18 December 2023 at London South Employment Tribunal, by video, Employment Judge J Bromige recorded that the claimant did not attend and the respondent was represented by Ms Pryce, solicitor. The tribunal stated that the claimant's claims were struck out under Rule 37(1) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013.
The reason given was that the claimant had failed to comply with the case management orders of Employment Judge Truscott KC dated 26 April 2022, the claims had not been actively pursued, and the manner in which the proceedings had been conducted amounted to unreasonable conduct. The judgment therefore disposed of the proceedings on strike-out grounds and did not reach the merits of the underlying claims. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
