Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the respondent failed to confirm in writing whether it intended to defend the claim. On that basis, the response was struck out.
The judgment says that, under Rule 37(3), where a response is struck out the effect is as if no response had been presented, as set out in Rule 21. The respondent remained entitled to notice of any hearings and decisions, but could participate only to the extent permitted by the judge. The extracted text records no merits findings and no remedy 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.
